I really enjoyed this interview. I also look forward to the day when I can
meet Bas in person!

Great interview

I am very fortunate to have met Mr AT this June in Amsterdam. Your enthusiasm
for for Aquatimers is infectious :o)

Tonny thanks for sharing this great interview with Bas. I feel honoured to
have gotten the chance to meet him in June and have experienced first hand his
passion and knowledge of Aquatimers.

Great interview, I remember Bas posting AT pictures from Kilimanjaro but
didn't know he'd been to the top of Mount Everest - very impressive Bas

Hi Skule,

For the record, I did not summit Mt. Everest ,

(I like my tows and fingers to much, and had to make my wife a promise) but
did go as far as beyond the khumbu icefall and turned arround at 6400mt.

Some years ago I did climb Elbrus in the Russian Caucasus. At 5642m,
Elbrus and its double-coned volcano is 832m higher than Western Europe's
highest mountain, the Mont Blanc (wich I ones summitted too). It's a
certified member of the 'seven summits' - the highest point on every continent
- hence my effort to climb some of them.

I would
recomment everyone to undertake such a "live changing expedition" If not all,
then at least one(!)

Despite there formidable stature, nearly all of the Sven summits can be
climbed by most, but it doesn't come without challenge or commitment.

go for It. I'm going to the Andes (Peru) 4 weeks in september and will climb
the vulcano Salkantay 6.271 mtr. And hike (together with some friends)
back the first Inca trail.

when we arrive at Cusco again, we will return to take some pics of Machu
Picchu (since we 're there)

life is too short to waste.

cheers

IWC must have known your interview was being published today. I just received
a PROPER, "Bas Approved" dive strap for my Laureus...

Haha

your 're ready to go DIVING now(!)

wear it (and dive with it) in good health !

cheers mate.

I will be sure to!! Thanks Bas!!

Still very impressive Bas!

You'll love Machu Picchu :-). And you're right, life is an adventure so go
ahead and treat it that way.

Great interview - I admire your commitment to one line Bas (something I find
too hard to do!) and your positivity with pursuing adventurous and challenging
life experiences!

Looking forward to meeting you one day!

Thank you

always a pleasure to read a fellow collectors stories and experiences!

cheers

Fantastic interview Bas, and it was a pleasure to meet you in Amsterdam! Might
have to buy a real dive strap as well for my AT :D
