The Full Half of the Glass

For every yin, there is a yang. One moment passive, the next minute aggressive. There is a time to strike, and a time to stand down. To seek new thrills, or just to stand still.

I am normally a glass-half-empty kind of guy, but my rantings and ravings need to be balanced by some semblance of positivity, lest the universe go out of whack.

So here’s looking at the glass half-full:

Dives Waiting To Happen


I'm looking for six (6) divers so that I can do a half-boat charter onboard Ferox

I will work as a crew member, but I will give full attention to my 6 divers. I will do my best as a guide and I won’t rest until we are on land. I can help with improving your vegetarian food, but not with your chocolate on your pillow. In that case you are not the diver I want to guide.

Malpelo Island 2025

March 7th to 17th, 2025 — FULL
March 19th to 29th, 2025 — NEW TRIP
July 19th to 28th, 2025 — 2 spaces sharing a Queen bed
July 30th to August 8th, 2025 — 2 spots left
August 8th to 18th, 2025 — 3 spots left
More info

This is not a destination for fainthearted divers.

Strong current, big surge, and waves crashing on the sheer rocky island that you can only get on by climbing a 10-meter-long rope ladder hanging from a ramp that sticks out from the island. IF it’s calm.

Malpelo Island 2026

March 10th to 19th, 2026 — Open
July 7th to 16th, 2026 — Open
