Update July 25, 2007

I, Michael Haas, 48, have travelled extensively in

Thailand, the Philippines, Australia, Japan, Egypt, Morocco and Indonesia. I love rock climbing and hiking and diving. With these passions came the desire to keep have something that lasts longer than fading memories. I picked up photography and video.

I started diving in Germany, 22 years ago in the cold Starnberg Lake South of Munic. Since the I dove in Egypt (off Hurghada, Sharm el Sheik e.g.), the Philippines (Mindoro, Palawan e.g.), Thailand (the Similans), Bali (Mimpang, Tulamben, Menjangan, Padangbai), Japan (Ice Diving in Northern Hokkaido Utoro), Australia (the Great Barrier Reef).

I love good conversation and people who try to be open for the wonders of the world and try to see their own prejudices. Seeing oneself can ease prejudices extremely.
I do yoga every morning which seems to be good for relaxation when diving (in currents off Nusa Penida or Mimpang, or be on a deep dive) or helps to keep confidence when doing a long hike (to the peak of Gunung Rinjani e.g.).

Places where I want to go some day: Tibet with Mount Kailash, Galapagos, Irian Jaya, the Amazon, Aconcagua, Monte Rosa, Mont Blanc, India.
Now, I have been living most of the time in Bali. I am based in Bali. But I am open for the adventures in the rainforest, in the blue seas with sharks and sun fish, on Balinese and other volcanoes.

I am especially interested in environmental issues. Protecting mother EARTH, mother SEA is in our biggest interest. Even if some of us don´t know it.

I have been living in Bali for the last years. It is a truly magic place. You can watch videos of my favorite places or Balinese festivities here.

If you would like to join the adventures it might be great fun. Don't forget: EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE if it´s in our limits.
