Diving World Story

My name is Jürgen Schägger and I was born in Ingolstadt, a small town located in Bavaria, Germany. I was always been fascinated with the sea and had the urge to explore it´s secrets, it´s splendour. My dreams turned true in 1979, when my wife Irene and I first set foot on the sands of Maldives. Being resident on a tiny little Island in the Indian Ocean and discovering the fascinating underwater world, our life has entirely changed. The word scubadiving was not heared everywhere and dive sites remained to be discovered. The divecentre at Biyadoo was opened in 1982 and at that time just a hand full of divers visited us. We did anything possible to please our guests and where proud to forward our service during 24hrs year around. With all our efforts we promoted Maldives as the number one divingdestionation in the world. The word of mouth travelled to people who never could imagine the place. Many people have come to visit us and been extremely satisfied with our excellent dive service.
It fills me with great satisfaction and a sense of achievement,that Maldives continue to be visited by divers from all over the world even today. You are indeed blessed to experience the breathtaking splendour of the underwater paradies that is the Maldives. As one who has been here long enough to feel it my privilege as well as my duty to do my bit protect the miracles of. We must ever remember, that the Maldives is made of fragile corals that take years and years to grow .... The marine fauna and flora and the eco system depend on us - our care and concern not to harm them in the least even, as we enjoy their splendour and beauty. After having seen through over 10.000 diving expeditions, I am the more concerned of the need to do so.
Keep on good and safe diving,
Jürgen
