In the 2000s, we pioneered the use of kites to travel through polar highlands and mountains. See how it feels
in this
MOVIE showing kiting in Svalbard in 2019 and in this
MOVIE that I shouted during a training expedition in 2016.
For the last
Greenland expedition
we were invited to participate to the
Festival des "Nuits Polaires" (the "polar nights" festival), a
major event about polar exploration in France.
- I am a professional Scuba-diving Instructor (E3, CMAS **
Professional Diploma "Brevet Professionnel Educateur Sportif", MF1 FFESSM); about 2500 dives
in many seas and oceans, cold and warm.
I often operate as a driving instructor on the
Island of Port-Cros , from where we can access the best dive site in the
Medditerranean, the
Donator shipwreck (films by my friend Guy Chauvet)
See
my pictures from a trip to the seldom explored
Huvadhoo
atoll
at the extreme south of the Maldivian islands. More
from the Red Sea .
- And sometime I dress like a green frog... ;)
