Biography

 

  

     I was born and raised in Tallinn, the capital of
Estonia. As an urban cityboy, I never felt quite at
home in the middle of the city, surrounded by big
concrete buildings, so I spent all my summers
with my grandparents at a summer cottage next
to the Baltic Sea. I learned to swim, snorkel and
freedive quite fast and my love for the sea just kept
growing.
     
     It felt only natural on my path of education, to enter the Estonian Maritime Academy and become a navigational officer, so my work would bring me to the sea every day. But it came clear soon enough, that working long days onboard a ship was not the right choise for me. I needed not to be on the sea, but in it! So I started scubadiving to get where I really wanted and needed to be! I moved quickly from Open Water Diver to Scuba Instructor level and had the time of my life. On the way I picked up a digital camera and after the first dive I knew, I had found a hobby for life!  

     

 

     Currently I am a commercial diver and work takes me further away from my home waters. But wherever I go, I still try to bring my camera with me  ;)
