My main motivation to make this website was to share my interest for marine animals with as many people as possible and thus perhaps help to preserve the unique coral reef habitats. It's also been a lot of fun and I learned a lot in the process!

My main interests lie with marine critters. My favorite marine animals: frogfish (new seperate website!), ghostpipefish, dragonets, Rhinopias, nudibranchs. Before diving with a camera, I used to take a magnifying glass along, so I could observe their behavior. I like to do muckdiving (diving on sand and rubble and searching for hidden animals) or diving far away form the usual dive areas, for example on a liveaboard.

I've been diving since 1994, I'm a certified PADI divemaster and have done over 1500 dives. I dive mostly in Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia (East coast and Borneo), Burma, Thailand, Philippines) and in the Red Sea but have also been to the Galapagos islands.

As a typical warmwater-diver I only know a few dive sites in Switzerland such as the Verzasca river.
I live in the German part of Switzerland and I work with kids (my website in German www.horte-online.ch). My newest project is a page about pyramid building - click here to have a look: www.cheops-pyramide.ch (starting page in English)
