Baited Shark Dive, Umkomaas, South Africa
2  Baited Shark Dive, Umkomaas, South Africa
For those believing that sharks are mindless, ferocious, man-eating monsters, this video and others like it should serve to show that they are beautiful and majestic creatures. We dived with Oceanic Black Tips and Tiger Sharks for an hour and never felt threatened. This is an experience I would recommend to any scuba diver! Make your way to Africa and go hang out with the SHARKS!!!

PIKE FEVER - Jerkbaiting for Scandinavian monsters
PIKE FEVER - Jerkbaiting for Scandinavian monsters
If you are into fishing, youve probably dreamt of landing a 22 pound (10 kg) Nordic pike. For two of Swedens top pike fishermen, this dream came true one weekend over and over again! In March 2004, Stefan Trumman Trumstedt and Torbjörn Buster Odén had decided to go fishing in the archipelago. They had no idea that in less than three days, they would catch over 150 pikes, including two real beauties which tipped the scales at over 33 lbs a piece and another 22 weighing well over 20 lbs each. When it became clear that they were in the middle of a veritable pike frenzy, they rang me and shouted excitedly into my phone. I dropped everything, packed my camera equipment and got into my car. On the way, I thought about a script for the film, but not even I was prepared for the sights that awaited me. When filming started the following morning, the excitement was almost too much to bear. Incredibly, the pikes kept going for the bait like mad, and I was able to catch a hitherto unprecedented fishing experience on film. A frenzy of remarkable proportions! Word of the fabulous fishing tale spread like wildfire and soon made history as the most amazing case of pike fever ever witnessed in Scandinavia. After months of painstaking editing I was able to present this epic pike fishing film. It quickly became one of the classics in Scandinavia and won the award "Best fishing film of the year" in 2005. Pike Fever is full of serious pike fishing action: brutal bites, fabulous fights, double ...

Surf School Trailer July 17th on DVD.
www.surfschoolmovie.com It's senior year at Laguna High, and senior trip is a surf safari to Costa Rica for the High school Surfing Championship (OK, we made it up). Of course, five senior outcasts, non-surfers all, aren't invited. It's OK, they've got the perfect underdog plan 1. enroll in an offbeat Costa Rican surf school run by the ultimate burned-out surf bum; and 2. since they're low on dough, they'll stay at a commune run by two former 60s hippy radicals, Boris and Tillie (still wanted by the FBI). Throw in the soon-to-be-famous Three Swedes, Nordic beauties who get off on teasing American men, add a primate (Veronique the lovesick French chimp)and you have an epic teen comedy. And who knows, our outcasts may just surprise the surfing world in the process!

Nordic beauties

elise1_thumbThe wrecks of Norway might not be set in the warm seas of their southern counterparts, but they have an attraction all of their own.






Can a thing of rust and death such as a shipwreck be said to be beautiful? Lots of divers would think so, but the chances are that they would be thinking of wrecks in the Tropics, where vivid coral has taken a hold on the structure, creating life out of death. The shipwrecks of temperate waters are a more sinister proposition. Still, I think they have a different sort of beauty, and two ships that demonstrate this vividly are the Elise Schulte and the Dronning Maud, which lie in the magical waters of the Norwegian Arctic.

The Second World War left the Norwegian coast littered with shipwrecks. Many were sunk in the vicinity of the port of Narvik during the German invasion of Norway in April 1940. Unfortunately, for those of us interested in the minutiae of wrecks, much has been salvaged or pillaged. Nevertheless, much remains and for those who are prepared to deal with the cold water, this area is one of the most rewarding wreck diving spots in the northern hemisphere.

The norweigan wrecks of The Elise Schulte and The Dronning Maud are detailed in the associated articles below:
