As you probably easily recognize from the picture, As you probably easily recognize from the picture, I am preparing teaching at university level. A bingo about cool stuff students get to learn at sea! And for that, clearly the right stamps to check off what they've done are an integral part. Looking forward to going on the student cruise with you @kjersti.daae !!! 🥳 As we say @katarina.martensson -- kindergarten teacher, academic developer, same, same 😂

Exciting day yesterday at @active.divers' AIDA fre Exciting day yesterday at @active.divers' AIDA freediving competition! First calm water and flat surface, then diver comes without disturbing the surface, safety diver creates a wake, after the turn there are some waves from the safety diver and the turn in the diver's lane, and lastly happy ring waves made by athletes and safety divers when surfacing at the end. And that's of course just the #WaveWatching side of things, the other side is a Swedish record, lots of personal bests, and only white cards! Great competition!

I've now shared the instructions on my blog (link in bio) in case anyone wants to use it or build on it, feel free to contact me for material lists and more details. It was fun! :) #freediving #escapegame #escaperoom #teachingoceanography #oceanographyclass
Found another @active.divers Christmas dive pictur Found another @active.divers Christmas dive picture at Boalt that looks soo spooky with the one head (mostly snorkel) visible at the buoy, and then the shadows of the two divers (one vertically at the bouy, one in the surface to the right with an arm hanging down). I really need a better camera for this kind of stuff @skredfare!

Three experiments as clues for three questions, and voila: the code to unlock a safe with the movie we wanted to watch (but then didn't). I am so lucky to have become part of this awesome community! 😍

I find stages of ice formation so fascinating; how I find stages of ice formation so fascinating; how sometimes you have these super thin ice films and sometimes you have tons of needles, or small pancakes, or all in super close proximity to each other. And the best is how they filter out waves in different ways! #LetsGoWaveWatching #KommWirGuckenWasser
