Nicolai Salling Best Dive Job in the World

“Creative and fun entry” I thought – Why not just do exactly that to get your attention, and then tell you guys a bit about myself in plain text. So I did, and now the competition got a soundtrack aswell! 😉

About me: I have lived to experience 27 summers, because to me the summer and fun is equal to life and fun. I come from the small but proud country of Denmark which is in Scandinavia, Europe(We made the “Carlsberg”, the “Lego” and invented the tape recorder in 1898…)

I haven’t spent much time in Denmark for the last 5 years, as I have been working as a representative, tour guide and destination manager for a travel agency. This means handling and taking care of tourist going on holiday and thereby making sure that they get the best holiday experience possible. This has brought me to various destinations in Greece, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Borneo, whereas I am currently staying in Koh Samui, Thailand.

I simply just love exploring and experiencing new places, countries and people from all over, and luckily this have been possible to combine with my job. At any time during these 5 years I have been able to pack my life in a bag or two and continue my ongoing adventure called life….and my bag is ready for Bali!

In my job I’ve had a tendency to always work on islands – having the sea nearby. I am told I’ve inherited this urge to explore and stay near the sea from my grandfather who sailed around the world several times during his lifetime. But staying NEAR the sea isn’t enough – I want to go IN IT!

From the first time I tried snorkelling/diving I, I was hooked. Fortunately I have been able to get PADI certified in the places I worked and lived. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to do as much diving as wanted, mainly because I still have had to work(money doesn’t grow on trees you know).

Whenever I have time off, I use that opportunity to go diving. During my last time off/holiday, I went to the area of Koh Tao, Thailand and did my Padi Divemaster course. While and after doing that my urge to continue into the diving world just got bigger. SO: I took a big decision and told my company for the first time in 5 years, that I wouldn’t be working after my current season(ends in beginning of April). So now as I’m singing in my song(sorry for the voice- not meant to be popstar), my fate is up to YOU Season Blue Bali! – Just waiting for your call 😉
