Who
is Anders Jälmsjö?
Most people call me Samaka
which is
Arabic and means fish. The nickname comes from when I first came to Hurghada and
was working with daily diving. I always gave my divers long time in the water
and so every day it was me the boat crews were waiting for before they could let
the moorings slide and go home. "Who are we waiting for?" someone would
ask and another reply "Alatoul el Samaka" (like always, the fish).
I work as a dive
guide/instructor since many years and I still love every second of it I have about 2.500 dives in the Red Sea under my belt and I'm still
excited every time I'm about to jump in the water.
When it comes to my own passions in diving there is my rebreather,
under water photography and marine macro life, small things that
most people normally miss because they swim too fast or too far away
from the reef. |

The Batman suit is
tailor-made and comes from
MAYA. |

I'm very interested in marine life and try to learn as much as possible about
the marine life. If I can't tell you what it was we saw during our dive, most
likely I’ll have the book to find out.
I have a
steady feature in the H2O Magazine with a dive site map and briefing in every
issue. In the same magazine I have also been writing articles now and then about
for example the wreck of SS Maiden in the south Red Sea and articles about U/W photography.
Recently I was
chosen by the website Scuba
Jedi to represent the Red Sea and write articles. I'm honoured and hope I
can do the area justice.
I hope you find aziab.com
useful and enjoyable. Also I hope this website can hopefully be to some help to
future visitors in the region. News will be updated frequently.
