Michel Braunstein
Breathtaking Spots Underwater
Hello, my name is Michel Braunstein, my passion for the sea was born prior to my 10th birthday as I was watching Jacques Cousteau’s movies. Just about 10 years later, I started diving and taking underwater pictures with a rented SeaandSea camera. I have never stopped taking underwater pictures since then.
For one of my birthdays, I got a Nikonos V underwater camera. A heck of a birthday present! This was probably the gift I’ve appreciated the most in my whole life.
As electronics end studies project/thesis, I have developed in 1990-91 a diving computer with optical connection to a PC. That happened before the first diving computer model including a PC connection, was launched on the market (by Suunto).
After hundreds of dives in the dark and cold lakes of my Belgian homeland, I decided to move to Israel to be closer to my beloved Red Sea.
I had the chance to travel the Galapagos Islands, Palau (Micronesia), Yap (Micronesia), Papua New Guinea, Maldives, Brazil, etc and of course I had many occasions to dive the Red Sea as well. More details about my adventures are available in the different articles on the site.
