Under the Pole

A Polar Scuba Diving Expedition…

A day in water…

Spent the day Kloofing (Canyoning) with my son Neo (9) and my brother Jaco on the Smalblaar section of the Molenaars River.

We walked in from the low-water bridge and made our way up through the water and over rocks up to the small waterfall, about an hour and a half up the river.

It was a great day & such a privalege to share it with my son and my brother.

I’ve put together some of the video footage into a short movie which you can watch below….

Crane Jump

I dont usually put anything up on mylifeinwater that does not involve being in or under water in some way… but I decided to make an exception in this case.

A well-known Kite-Surfer named Nick Jacobsen, recently pulled a stunt which I find pretty impressive. Especially so, since it involved him climbing up and jumping down a crane on a ship that ran aground (a year or so ago) less than 10 minutes drive from where I stay.

It is a nicely put together video that is a little cheeky. Take a look below:

Got it!

So, I finally have my copy of “Come Hell or High Water” (Keith Malloy’s epic bodysurfing film).

I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Well worth watching.

I bought my copy online from The Surf Network

The Deepest Man on Earth

Herbert Nitsch is an airline Pilot who also happens to be the man who has dived deeper than anyone else on one breath.

In 2012 he is going to attempt diving down to 800ft (244m). Below is a video-clip to give you a sense of what he will be doing.

If you’d like to learn more about Herbert Nitsch, watch the short intro video below, or visit his website at:

Look familiar?

The image below of Dave Rastovich (bodysurfing a wave underwater) really captures what is for me the ultimate wave riding experience. Riding a wave, along the face, underwater.

That is surfing.

Take a step back…

Wow, this is my 200th post in mylifeinwater. Wasn’t sure what to go with on this landmark event… but, in the end I decided to post a public-service announcement.
