Slovak Skiing (Video)

This video isn’t as exciting as the scuba videos, but I ran out of those, so until I get to go diving again (probably in a week or two) enjoy the hills of Slovakia in the short video below:

Photos of the Week (2/21)

These are the some of the photos I got processed this week. I figured I’d write a little about each to tell a better story about them.

Long Day of DivingLong Day of Diving – Taken after our two morning dives out on the reefs we’re actually heading back into the water to do some beach diving at our resort.

Somoskői Bastya – Castle on the Slovak-Hungarian boarder. This castle was unreachable after World War 2 since the French decided to cut out this part of Hungary and give it to the Slovaks. The border makes a funny diversion to accomplish this, proving just how silly the French can be.

Somoskoi Var

Somoskői Vár – Taken within the walls of the castle. To the left are window from which canons could be shot from.

BUEK

BUÉK (Boldog Új Évet Kívánok) – Taken at 12:00AM New Year’s Day.

Budafoki Ut

Budafoki Út – Taken outside the Fidesz political headquarters in Budapest on New Year’s morning. The building pictured is one building of BME, an engineering university in Budapest. BME is actually across the river from Corvinus, which I attended a long time ago.

Beach Diving

The last of the Cozumel diving videos. This one is a compilation of all the beach dives we made near our diving hotel we stayed at. They provide us with free air, so we made as many dives as we could, even if that meant diving at night. So, I hope you enjoy the video below:

Flying String Rays

This dive, comparatively, was a little boring. We were spoiled on our first dives by a range of aquatic life including a dive bombing sea turtle, swimming through tunnels in the reefs and deep abysses. Near the end of the dive, it made it all worth it as I was chasing a baracuda with my camera and realized I was right above a sleeping sting ray. I slowly floated down to him and just as I thought it would be cool if he got up and swam away (so that I could catch it on video), he did just that.

Hope you enjoy the video below:
