Divemaster Lukas

Hometown:  Salzburg, Austria

Why I started diving:  I’ve always been interested in underwater life, so trying it on my trip around Thailand seemed like a good idea.

What keeps me diving:  I really like the weightless feeling you have while diving and there is always so much to see, so no two dives are the same. It’s great to share the passion with so many other divers and see them enjoy diving just as much as I do.

My favorite thing to do in Moalboal during my surface interval:  I do like to go fun diving on my day off. Besides that the Kawasan Falls and Mainit Hot Springs are cool trips, or simply relaxing in a hammock and enjoying the sunset.

Some of my favorite creatures:

Lionfish: As a kid visiting the aquarium, this was always the one that fascinated me the most. Even after seeing loads of them in the ocean, it’s cool to watch out for the different kinds.

Papuan Toby: Very colourful fish, but also terrible swimmers, often found in pairs dancing around each other. They are related to puffers, so they are able to “blow up” as well.
