Divevaker 2022 – we see each other!
You will no doubt have already heard and read about it: in consultation with the exhibitors, the Duikvaker Trade Fair has been moved to April 2-3 this year, where we will be present as always together with Thalassa (although in a different composition). So the diving party continues as usual! As in previous years, we […]
He did it … and we are proud!
I am talking about a young man named Ariz Putra. He was my student at our school, graduated and started working for Thalassa as a dive guide. At Thalassa he became Divemaster and instructor and when one of our loyal guests Rinie Klein heard that he was doing so well, she offered him a scholarship […]

Here we publish new (as well as older) videos about our school, the dive training Simone is doing, and reports of all kinds of activities our children are doing in North Sulawesi. Students love appearing in our videos, especially in this age of […]
How is our school doing now?
We just finished a week of semester exams. Both Class 1 and Class 2 took their test for the Department of Dive Tourism. It is and remains a strange situation because of Corona. Students attend school only 50 percent of the time, and the level of their education does not improve. The practical part also […]
Our new corporate identity
In January 2017, I received an email from Simone with the subject line “doltish amateur.” For a moment my brain spasmed: was this a stark judgment of my abilities as a designer? I had just been freelancing for a year, so who knows….It turned out to be a false alarm, of course: this was just […]
