BANNERS

 

Born Scandinavian Richard "Ric" Johansson, CEO of Windjammer Media made his first dive in 1981 and became a dive instructor in 1992. For one decade he worked as a pro during wintertime in Thailand, the Philippines as well as the Maldives and during summertime with his own dive-center in Scandinavia. Richard has travelled the globe and therefore he has had the opportunity to dive in Australia, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Caribbean. Besides diving Richard also likes to go sailing once in a while and earlier on he acctually has been sailing as crew. His dream is to one day have enough spare time to have his own boat.

Right now Richardīs main focus is to produce film and photo about marine activities for Sealmen products and therefore he has big plans to find out more about exciting "not so known" places where you can experience good diving and sailing. "Since our planet consists of approximately 70% water there is still a lot to explore", Richard says. Furthermore environmental issues and children that are born into poverty are very important issues that always should be taken into consideration according to Richard as he says "Our mission here on earth is to help each other in the best way we can and any way is better than the option of doing nothing".

During all his travels Richard has noticed that it is almost impossible to get the authentic feeling of what a destination has to offer beforehand. Due to this reality it is no wonder people choose popular places that a lot of other people visit because it is safe. It can also mean that they stop picking out new alternatives and go to the same destination every year because of the fact that they already are aquainted with it. "With SEALMEN we want to change this picture and give all the divers and people who love to sail information about what a destination truly has to offer." He continues by stating the fact that we do this from "the whole perspective" and due to this fact our DVD Travel guides really can make a difference. Richard then finishes by saying that we are going to produce the best DVD Travel guides ever made for the maritime community.
