Wolfgang Wild

On initial underwater breathing experiences, while working as a student during semester breaks in public pools, the author got “hooked”, and started his career towards a scuba instructor of several associations, including the instructor trainer level. Special diving favorites have been the Maldives, Kenya, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, and Mexico’s fascinating “cenotes”. Underwater photography and video are the author’s special challenge, with plentiful footage of manta rays, whale sharks and other creatures like the curious octopus or the bustling mantis shrimp filling the author’s PC hard disks. Apart from training divers and diving instructors the author has been translating numerous diving related publications into German; he holds various university credentials and lives in Germany.
