Never Stop Learning Because Life Never Stops Teaching
As we approach the beautiful limestone island of Bon, the people from the other liveaboards start turning towards us: the ones laying lazily in the sundecks that see how suddenly the blue of the sky is broken by something long and colourful; or the ones listening to briefings that turn their backs to their poor ...
Wedding Proposal at Richelieu Rock
At the start of this trip I posted a photo of all of our customer’s cameras on our Facebook page. There were a lot! The caption read:
