We take a look at the latest delivery from Heesen in their 47 metre superyacht class, the beautiful ASYA
A stylish and modern express cruiser with minimalist, and yet elegant design from the Turkish yacht builder.
The renowned Italian fashion house puts their hand to the iconic Italian speed boat, with exceptional results.
We explore Qatar as a destination for yacht owners and ocean enthusiasts, with worldclass marinas, beautiful natural islands and the incredible Katara Dhow Festival.
Hadag travels to the beautiful town of Verbiers in the Swiss Alps, where we take a drive in the impressive 2015 Audi Q7, which boasts a raft of new technology and an unbeatable driving experience.
Greetings ocean enthusiasts , and welcome to our summer edition of Hadag magazine. The next couple of months will be quiet for all but the most dedicated of us, as soaring temperatures drive us indoors, and boats across the region are carefully covered and put into hibernation for the summer. However, that’s not to say we should be completely inactive, as now is the time that many expats leave the Gulf for other countries, and so those looking for a good deal on a secondhand boat or a coveted spot in the most popular marinas should choose this time to be on the hunt!
Featured this month is the beautiful Heesen 47m class superyacht, the ASYA, the second to be delivered with the redesigned hull. It’s NOT the same as the Heesen yacht sketched below, but we just liked the image...
As we sail through the Gulf we put our spotlight on Qatar this issue, which boasts so many excellent options when it comes to marine leisure facilities, from world-class marinas to yacht clubs at five-star hotels, beautiful islands, remote beaches, colourful ocean wildlife and more.
What has also occurred to us as we’ve travelled through the Gulf is that all of the countries we’ve visited so far are making commendable efforts to keep their rich and ancient maritime heritage alive. We’ve seen this with the dhow builders in Bahrain, the dhow racing in Abu Dhabi and the region as a whole, and now in Qatar, with the Katara Traditional Dhow festival, where ancient boat-building practices are celebrated and kept alive by their support for the industry across the region.
It’s a policy we wholeheartedly support!
Enjoy, and please send us your thoughts to tony@factlive.com
Heesen Yachts delivered the second of their restyled 47 metre class superyachts in March of this year, the stunning ASYA…
he exterior design of the new 47m class yachts from Heesen was carried out by the renowned Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, combining elegant traditional lines with contemporary flair, a marriage emphasised by the continuous glass windows and matching black paintwork on the main deck and upper decks.
The restyling includes a significant improvement in the housing of the rescue tender in an enclosed bay in front of the wheelhouse, a remarkable achievement considering the yacht is under the 500GT threshold. This additional touch of grace means the lines of the forward section of the iconic yacht now look smooth and clean. Another important design change
concerns the crew accommodation, which complies with LY3 regulations.
Simplicity as the ultimate form of sophistication is the guiding principle of ASYA’s interior design. Her sophisticated interior from the London-based and awardwinning studio Bannenberg & Rowell has a distinctly Far Eastern, restful feel, inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams, Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tadao Ando.
It combines silver-grey oiled oak, mid-gloss lacquer, silk and bronze with contrasting dark Makassar ebony and polished stainless steel detailing and accents.
Powered by two MTU8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, M/Y ASYA’s well-engineered full displacement steel hull with bulbous bow provides smooth passage for a maximum speed of 15 knots, which exceeded the contractual speed by 0.8 knots. At her cruising speed (12 knots) she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
M/Y ASYA is the expression of Heesen Yacht’s ability to create unique and awardwinning vessels with naval architecture and engineering based on a proven and successful design platform. “Working to a proven design platform allows us to deliver an exceptional yacht in less than 24 months with industry leading quality and performance specifications,” says Mark Cavendish, director Sales and Marketing “This provides our customers with the confidence to purchase a vessel whose performance has been tested and constantly improved.”
Following her launch, Asya remained at the Oss harbour for final construction and for the commissioning of all her systems. Shortly after the New Year she underwent extensive sea trails in the North Sea, and was then delivered to her owners in March 2015.
Here we take a look at the beautiful Alen 68, a stylish and modern express cruiser with minimal, yet elegant design.
L Aun C h ED I n T h E S u MME r of 2014, the Alen 68’s original design was the result of a client’s desire for an elegant and distinctive motoryacht that could carry up to 16 people on day trips and include a comfortable stateroom for overnight trips.
To cater to the client’s wishes, Alen Yacht joined forces with renowned international architects Foster + Partners to create the Alen 68, merging innovative technology from land construction with boatbuilding expertise to created a fast, agile craft combining the elegant social spaces of a cruising yacht with the fun of a day boat.
It features one master suite and generous entertaining space at the prow – this arrangement is highly flexible and subsequent yachts in the series can be specified with up to three cabins.
A stair leads down to the prow of the yacht, where the truly unique lounge is reminiscent of an exclusive club’s VIP area. It is naturally toplit by a central strip of glazing, as well as two side portholes. The versatile, open-plan layout can accommodate up to twelve guests, as well as creating private niches for relaxing.
To the stern is the master suite, with a double bed and leather chaise longue, and the galley and bathroom are in the centre of the boat. Every detail has been considered and prototyped, from the bathroom drawer that extends into a compact vanity unit, to the placement of grab rails, which are seamlessly
The Alen 68’s outdoor dining table is perfect for entertaining guests
integrated with the structure.
Above deck, the bespoke furnishings include a modular unit of three sun loungers. Maximising the flexibility of the space, two further black fabric recliners are arranged on either side of the wooden foredeck and the yacht also has space for a large tender, jet skis and paddle boards. At the helm there is a conventional wheel and state-of-the-art automatic controls, as well as cameras for full visibility. The bench along one side of the outdoor dining table also functions as the driver’s seat – it can be elevated in its entirety to allow the whole family to sit ‘up front’ and steer a course. A black fabric shading screen, like the cover of a sports car, can partially or fully enclose the seating area to protect the yacht in all weathers.
The fast, agile motor yacht can travel at up to an impressive 45 knots thanks to its twin 1,550hp MAN diesel engines, and can cruise at a lively pace of 38 knots.
iva is the exclusive Italian boat builder whose creations can be seen ferrying the world’s rich and famous across the waters of such glamorous destinations as Lake Como and the French Riviera.
Already renowned and coveted for their beautifully classic designs featuring shiny metalwork and natural woods, they’ve taken it a step further in a partnership with Italian fashion house Gucci.
Gucci and Riva, in collaboration with Officina Italiana Design, the design company which created the original Aquariva in 2000, have worked together to create the exclusive made to order “Aquariva by Gucci”, a model customized by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini. The initiative was one of the activities marking Gucci’s 90th anniversary year in 2011.
The unique collaboration between two of Italy’s most renowned design houses celebrates the era of La Dolce Vita, when a joie de vivre, glamour and elegance defined an attitude and a lifestyle. In their respective sectors, Gucci
and Riva have similar stories, each with a tradition of excellence in design and craftsmanship that has led to international notoriety.
The limited-edition Riva Aquariva by Gucci is a customised version of the sleek, 33-foot cruiser that the Italian boat maker launched in 2001. It is powered by two 380hp Yanmar engines delivering a maximum speed of 41 knots and a 150mile range at cruising speed.
It boasts a glossy white fiberglass hull, a mahogany-lined cockpit and mahogany deck, and cockpit and sundeck seats covered with white waterproof fabric embossed with Gucci’s signature Guccissima pattern. A green-and-red stripe along the waterline complements the green tint of the crystal-glass windshield.
It comes with a raft of of Riva by Gucci accessories, which include bags, towels, deck shoes and flip-flops, all adding to the exclusivity and desirability of the boat. It is truly one of the most beautiful cruisers money can buy. But then it should be. The Aquariva by Gucci is estimated to ring in at a cool $1,000,000, which is a hefty price tag for a speedboat!
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mu’allah, member of the Supreme Council of the UAE and Ruler of Umm Al Quwain, Gulf Craft in June unveiled the Majesty 155, the UAE shipbuilder’s largest-ever fly-bridge motor superyacht.
The four-deck Majesty 155 is Gulf Craft’s first displacement superyacht, and boasts an impressively luxurious experience, including an ornately designed fountain on the sundeck, a beautiful waterfall that cascades from the rear sundeck into the Jacuzzi situated on the upper deck, and even a dedicated cigar lounge, with interior surfaces constructed from Cappuccino Onyx and CremaMarfil marble.
The Majesty 155 clearly demonstrates the company’s continuing dedication to the luxury yacht market. “Gulf Craft’s track record has been consistently recognized on a global level. The conception and creation of the Majesty 155 has further pushed our capabilities as a company, creating even higher expectations from our customers around the world,” said Mohammed Hussein Al Shaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft.
Look out for a more detailed look at the stunning 155 in our next issue!
The 70-metre Feadship Siran recently completed a nine-month refit at the Feadship yard in Makkum, ensuring that the superyacht features the newest technologies and meets the owner’s current requirements.
The last of seven magnificent Feadships to be designed by the legendary Jon Bannenberg, Siran was considered a revolutionary yacht in many ways at the time of her launch in 1991. Her radically styled windows and the innovative tender positioning were among many notable features.
The owner also made use of the period in the giant covered dock at the Feadship Makkum yard to have some paintwork done on the hull, upgrade to new highly-skewed low noise propellers and rearrange two crew cabins.
Safwa Marine, an independent yacht management company based in Abu Dhabi, recently opened its new Yas Marina headquarters and retail facility with an official launch ceremony. The new facility will offer a full range of services to the luxury yacht sector, including service and repair, charter and sales as well as offering a range of chandlery items.
Chairman Khaled Al Rashedi commented: “We are very proud of our achievements since we launched in 2014. We aim to constantly offer bespoke and unique services to the yachting industry that differentiate us from others in the market.”
Ronautica Middle East, operator of The Pearl-Qatar’s three marinas, announced last month that Porto Arabia Marina has been awarded a ‘5 Gold Anchors’ rating by the Yacht Harbour Association.
The award recognizes the marina for reaching international standards set for marinas offering excellent facilities, the highest service levels for members and achieving the ICOMIA Clean Marina standard.
Commenting on the award, Steven Stiglbauer, GM of Ronautica Middle East, said, “We are very proud to have received such accreditation. This award is not possible without a full team effort and the unceasing support regularly received from our parent company and master developer of The Pearl-Qatar, United Development Company.”

The annual celebration of the region’s maritime heritage hosted in Qatar’s cultural centre brings traditional Arabian sailing boats from across the region together in one colourful spectacle.
Each year, Qatar’s cultural village, Katara, which is located on Doha’s coastline just north of West Bay, hosts an international traditional dhow festival, with the aim of celebrating the region’s sailing traditions and maintaining the ancient art of dhow building.
The Traditional Dhow Festival’s fourth edition was staged in November of last year, with His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani inaugurating the event and attending the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was held in the presence of the Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage HE Dr Hamad Bin Abdulaziz al Kuwari, Katara’s Director-General Dr Khalid Ibrahim al Sulaiti and the festival’s Director Mr Ahmed al Hitmi, in addition to a number of ambassadors and VIP guests. Overall, more than 40,000 visitors took part in the festival’s opening day celebrations.
Last year’s festival hosted five maritime competitions; traditional sailing, free diving, pearl diving and rowing, as well as the best dhow contest.
The ‘Fateh Al Khair’ team from Bahrain won QR200,000 for collecting the biggest amount of pearls (14,264) during the three-day contest. Mohammed Abdullah al Saada from Qatar took home QR100,000 for winning the free-diving contest, in which he managed to hold his breath for an incredible 5 minutes and 30 seconds under water.
The sailing competition’s winners were also crowned, with Raslan team winning the first place and the QR100,000 prize. As for the rowing competition, the teams that secured the first four spots on Wednesday, all from Oman, were awarded QR100,000, QR70,000, QR50,000 and QR30,000 respectively.
“ The fourth Traditional Dhow Festival is a leading heritage event that achieved a number of objectives, such as bringing generations together and reviving Qatar’s as well as the region’s maritime heritage. Our maritime heritage is a distinctive feature of our national identity. This goes in harmony with Katara’s mission as a cultural institution, through which we spread our culture as well as interact with other cultures.

Finally, Qatar Museums Authority’s Fateh Al Khair won the coveted ‘Best Dhow’ contest, and the QR100,000 prize. However, in 2014 the judges found the contest to be highly competitive, and in an exceptional move decided to honour two more dhows with QR50,000 each. The two honourees were Bahrain’s Al Khalfaniyah dhow owned by Abdulaziz al Shahin, followed by Kumzar dhow of Mohammed Abdullah al Kumzari from Oman.
It is not just dhows that are celebrated at the festival, but the region’s maritime culture as a whole. The festival featured the participation of three folk groups from Qatar, Oman and Bahrain that roamed the beach’s walkways while chanting and doing the Arabian Peninsula’s signature clap, in a performance that resurrected the musical traditions of the region’s founding fathers.
To give the festival a ‘time-hop’ feel, the on-beach Heritage Village was re-designed to simulate the Qatari architecture of the 1940s. The village hosted 38 exhibitors from India, Zanzibar, Oman and Bahrain among a number of other countries.
During the five days of the festival, the artisans of the on-beach workshops performed live demonstrations of 16 ancient maritime professions that were popular in the pre-Oiland-Gas era to the festival’s guests.
Besides the ‘Al Tabaa’ operetta, the festival’s musical numbers included ‘Al Qafal’ operetta, as well as the traditional ‘Al Dashah’ event, which celebrated the seamen’s departure as they went on their three-day pearl diving trip, as part of the dhow festival’s competition program.
Katara’s beach visitors also had the chance to learn about the rituals of pearl diving, by watching a full crew on board a traditional diving vessel with tools and equipment, which they used to dive into the depths of the sea to extract oysters and pearls.
Overall, the event was lauded as a huge success, and plays an important role in maintaining the region’s ancient maritime traditions.
The peninsula of Qatar is a boater’s paradise, with its beautiful, warm Arabian Gulf waters home to a wealth of cruising and watersports opportunities to explore from luxurious anchoring destinations.
Located on the West Coast of the Arabian Gulf and surrounded by water on all three sides, everyone from watersports enthusiasts to those in search of a leisurely and relaxing day trip can enjoy islands, boating areas and some of the region’s most prominent boating and watersports events.
Naturally, sailing is a popular pastime, with its origins dating back to Qatar’s early beginnings when traditional wooden dhow boats were used for fishing and trading.
Today, sailing, motor boating and watersports have become major tourist attractions and regular highlights on Qatar’s annual event calendar.
For visitors and locals, Doha’s prestigious Lusail City offers the ideal anchoring spot at Lusail Marina, the home of the Qatar International Boat Show. Lusail’s facility, which is managed by Mourjan Marinas, is also home to a first-of-kind experiment to investigate the use of floating mangroves for ‘carbon sequestration’ – the capturing of carbon emissions. The experiment is a joint initiative with the UNESCO Doha Office.
Also managed by Mourjan Marinas is the Four Seasons Hotel Marina, providing another idyllic, luxury location for boaters. Other world-class berthing options include the Porto Arabia Marina in Doha’s exclusive luxury residential development on The Pearl, and the luxurious facilities at the RitzCarlton Hotel, Doha.
From any of these marinas, boaters can set off into the local waters and discover surrounding areas such as the Corniche Bay waterfront promenade, and a series of small islands.
For those with a taste for luxury, the previously uninhabited Banana Island has been recently transformed into a five-star island resort with a shallow rocky side ideal for snorkelling. Aliyah Island, home to desert hares and a variety of birds, provides boaters with an opportunity to observe local species in their natural habitat. Other islands worth visiting include Palm Tree Island and AlSafia Island, 10 and 15 minutes from Doha by boat respectively.
For those looking to explore further, Shrao Island, located three hours from Doha by speedboat, is a haven for seabirds, and visitors can enjoy spotting turtles from its soft, sandy beach. Halul Island boasts spectacular views with hills rising to 190 feet and its coral reefs and beautiful shoals of coral fish, ideal for scuba divers.
More active boating enthusiasts can enjoy watersports such as jet-skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, diving and parasailing, while those looking for a more relaxing experience can rent a traditional Dhow or luxury yacht for a sunset cruise, with stunning views of the city skyline at night. Qatar also boasts an action-packed watersports and boating annual event calendar, playing host to the Unlimited Hydroplane Championship, Formula One World Powerboat Championship, Qatar International Boat Show and the Jet Ski Grand Prix, as well as various international sailing regattas. Whatever your interests, world-class leisure facilities, calm crystal-clear waters, and sandy beaches make Qatar an ultimate cruising destination.

S EAWI n GS A r E FAST becoming the word in adventure and luxury sightseeing in the UAE. Originally plying their trade from the jetty at Dubai Creek Golf Club, taking tourists up on breathtaking aerial tours of Dubai, Seawings now flies the length and breadth of the Emirates, from Sir Bani Yas to Ras Al Khaimah.
“Seawings was founded in Dubai in 2007 by the company’s CEO, Stuart Wheeler,” explains Darren Brews, Marketing Manager, Seawings. “He saw a potential for a new and unique way to showcase Dubai and its incredible progress from the air.”
The company currently operates three Cessna Caravan 208 Amphibious aircraft. They can operate on both land and water, making them highly versatile, with each aircraft seating up to nine passengers and one pilot.
A trip on one of Seawings’ light passenger aircraft is very far removed from the cosseted luxury of a big jetliner. The roar of the turbo-prop engine and the white spray of the water as you barrel down the creek for take-off is an all-encompassing sensation. Once airborne, you feel every wind, breeze and air current in this light aircraft, making for a truly exhilarating experience. However, it is the spectacular aerial views of the mangroves, coves, islets, landmarks and city skylines that will dominate your memories of the flight.
Cruising above the city and coastline at a height of only a couple of thousand feet, there are few ways more impressive to take in the incredible skyline of Dubai and its record-breaking Burj Khalifa, or the spectacle of Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World and Emirates Palace than from the air.
Seawings recently expanded their operations from simple sightseeing tours to all-inclusive adventure trips to remote islands and luxury resorts. “In 2014 we launched Seawings Lifestyle, offering a luxury concierge service to our guests using the seaplane as a fulcrum,” explains Darren.
“Through Seawings Lifestyle we have partnered with the best tours, excursions and activities in the UAE with a goal to build customized packages for our guests. Some of the packages include wildlife drives, yacht charters, spa treatments, fine dining, golf, city tours and more. Recently we also opened travel desks in some of Dubai’s most prestigious hotels, through which we hope to offer a level of service and quality that exceeds the expectations of travelers to the UAE.”
The company’s success is self-evident. They have seen a steady increase in passenger numbers year after year since 2007, flying over twenty thousand passengers from around the world in 2014!
As temperatures soar to record levels in the Gulf, a trip to the world’s coldest region might seem tempting, especially when you find out it’s not actually as cold as you’d think…
I F T h E r E IS A ny I n DICATI on of the summer we’re in for, it was reported in June that on the second of the month, the UAE was the hottest place in the world, with the hottest temperature recorded globally of 50.5 degrees Celsius.
We enjoy perfect weather in the Gulf throughout winter, so why look for the same elsewhere in the summer? Why not go to the other extreme and head off to the Arctic Circle for a change? It might surprise you to learn that temperatures in some parts of the Arctic Circle can reach as high as 30°C in the summer, although average temperatures hover at around 10°C.
And we’ll give you six good reasons why you should go straight off the bat: Long hours of sunshine, with stunning sunsets and lingering dusks/Whales/Fjords/Spectacular scenery/Beautiful weather/and WHALES!
It should be said here that those looking to catch the famous Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, on a summer cruise in the Arctic will be disappointed – the long hours of sunlight and allnight twilights mean that the lights are not visible, as they can only be seen when the sky is completely dark.
The Arctic Circle is a region that is defined as anywhere north of the circle of latitude of the same name. The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours, at the summer solstice or winter solstice respectively. There are only eight countries in the world that have all or part of their territory in the Arctic Circle, namely the United States (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland and Iceland.
There are countless different types of cruise offered from all of these countries to choose from, but here are a few of our favourites:
Our personal favourite sacrifices some comfort and luxury in favour of an unparalleled wildlife experience.
Oneceanexpeditions.com are a polar environmental survey organisation that funds its research by offering spaces on their expeditions for travellers keen to get up close and personal with polar bears, whales and other polar wildlife as the team does its research. Options include ocean kayaking, snowshoe trekking, whale watching and more. If you want to learn more about the world’s ocean habitats and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the process, there aren’t many better ways than this!
Packages range from reasonable to exclusive, but do not include flights.
One of the most popular countries to depart on an Arctic cruise from is Norway, and this is because of one main reason: Fjords. A cruise from Norway will include aspects from other cruises, such as whale watching, icebergs and the like, but will also include the mind-numbingly spectacular beauty of the Norwegian fjords, as demonstrated by the picture you see here. You will also get to see some or Norway’s picturesque and quaint remote towns and villages, which are buried in snow for most of the year, but look pretty special in the summer months.

Recently, Hadag was lucky enough to enjoy an experience in one of the private villas at the luxurious Al Areen Palace & Spa…
A L Ar EE n PALACE & SPA is a huge property skilfully landscaped to perfection, boasting 78 villas carefully designed not to please the creator but to draw a smile of satisfaction on the lips of every visitor.
The lobby is cosy, yet broad and commodious, as the vast space is sectioned into three areas that share the same gulf-inspired interior design. The welcoming atmosphere is complimented by friendly staff and true Bahraini hospitality.
Whether you choose to relive your honeymoon, lost in a chapter of One Thousand & One Nights, or decide to treat your loved ones to a sumptuous luxury weekend stay, Al Areen Palace & Spa is the perfect destination.
Guests will enjoy a spacious private villa with a lounge
room furnished with a comfortable suite and desk, your choice of one or two bedrooms, a small external majilis or guest room, an external meeting room and bathroom with bathtub and shower area with steam, not to mention the outdoor shower and finally, the most important component of this winning recipe, a private swimming pool with a hot bubbly Jacuzzi. And what can be better than having the luxury of controlling the water temperature of your private pool to match your mood?
Although it is a refuge away from the buzz of the city, Al Areen Palace and Spa is also a kid’s haven; being a short distance from Al Areen Wildlife Park and The Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park, you can guarantee a stay of fun and unforgettable
memories for the whole family.
The opulent facilities define service excellence, from the luxury villas to three exquisite restaurants and a blissful range of relaxing spa treatments.
At Rimal you will enjoy the daily breakfast, and maybe the view overlooking the beautifully crafted gardens will tempt you to come back to savour from the daily international lunch and dinner menus.
If you are a loyal fan of Khaleeji cuisine, Saffron will tease your taste buds with fusion Bahraini flavours. Finally, situated on a man-made island, Keizo offers its guests a handpicked bouquet of authentic Thai, Japanese, and Chinese dishes that will take you on an East-Asian gastronomic journey. Keizo also gives romantic couples the chance to rekindle their love as the
intimate Gazebos offer a stunning set-up for two amidst gentle candlelight and a charming atmosphere.
And how can a relaxing getaway be complete without a quick trip to Al Areen’s award-winning Spa? Whether you are in the mood for a soothing bath, a relaxing body massage, a rejuvenating scrub, or a recharging facial, there is definitely a treatment made just for you.
My experience at Al Areen Palace & Spa was irreplaceable, not only because there was a special occasion behind the visit, but because it was PRIVATE and MINE all the way. You deserve the Al Areen experience as well... live it and create sensational memories for you and the ones you love the most.

In this issue of Hadag, we talk to qualified diving instructor and photography enthusiast Abdul Rahman Hamid, from Saudi Arabia, about his passion for the ocean…
Abdulrahman wanted to bring the beauty of the ocean to others through images.
Can you tell us in your own words a little about your profession and what you do?
My day job is a customs employee in Saudi Arabia, but I’m also a qualified PADI diving instructor and passionate diver. I’m also an amateur underwater photographer, dedicated to taking pictures of the ocean and marine wildlife. I use a Canon 6D with a waterproof rig.
and what sparked your keen interest in the environment?
My interest in photography and the marine environment stems from the beauty of what my eyes saw when I was diving, and the charm of the sea and the natural treasures of coral reefs.
and how did you get involved in the world of photography?
I entered in to the world of photography because I wanted to transfer all the beauty of what I was seeing whilst diving to the eyes of others, and show them a world they have never seen before.
what has been the highlight of your career so far?
What is most important to me is the enjoyment and happiness that me and my colleagues and fellow divers get from what we do, and there have been many good times, I can’t choose only one!
what advice would you give to young people who would like to pursue a similar career?
I would advise every young man and woman to try the diving experience for themselves, to see for themselves the beauty of nature, and hopefully be inspired to protect and preserve the environment in order to enjoy this beauty in the future.
what are your plans for the future?
My ultimate ambitions, God willing, are to be a great diving instructor and teach many others to enjoy the marine environment, and perhaps one day to be a professional photographer in this area as well.

This issue Chef Saco Musch of the Hilton Abu Dhabi shares with us his recipe for a delicious Tuna Steak with pomegranate, Cajun thick potatoes and buttered green beans.
Ingredients
Serves 2
200g Tuna steak
100g Green beans
1pc Big potato
1pc Pomegranate
1pc Capsicum yellow
Cajun Spices
Fresh basil
Lemon
Olive oil
Salt &pepper Butter
Method:
Wash the potato and cut into thick strips. Deep fry the potato chips on 140°C for 8 minutes and place on some kitchen paper. When the chips have cooled down, deep fry on 180°C for 4 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with pepper, salt and Cajun spices.
Wash the beans and cut off the ends. Blanch them for about one minute in boiling salted water. Sautee them in a pan with butter and salt.
Marinade the tuna steak with olive oil, salt and pepper. Heat up a pan to a high temperature. Sear the tuna on both sides, place inside a preheated oven (180°C) until medium (still pink in the middle).
Cut the pomegranate and take out the seeds. Cut one yellow capsicum into small cubes and mix with the pomegranate. Add salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice and chopped basil and mix well. Serve as shown above.
Mattias Roock, Executive Chef at Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl – Doha, shares the recipe of one of the most popular dishes at their restaurant Sawa with Hadag…
Ingredients
Serves 2
Tuna Tartare
240g Tuna fillet (sushi quality)
10g Lemon oil
1 pcs Small shallot
2 pinch Japanese lemon pepper
Maldon sea salt
Piment d’Espelette
Avocado salsa
1 pcs Avocado
1 pcs Lime
1 pcs Small red chili
1 pcs Ripe vine tomatoes
Salt and pepper
Herb Salad
Frisee (only yellow leafs)
Mixed cress
Picked herbs (coriander/parsley/basil/chive)
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Method:
Cut the tuna into very small dices, using a really sharp knife to avoid mashing it. Dice the shallots finely. Mix the ingredients together, adding lemon oil and Japanese lemon pepper. Season with Maldon sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and Piment d’Espelette.
Cut the avocado in half, removing the stone and skin. Put the flesh in a bowl, drizzle the juice of half a lime over it and mash the avocado with a fork. Blanch the tomatoes for around ten seconds in boiling water, remove them and cool them down in a bowl of ice water. Peel the tomatoes and remove the insides of them. Cut the tomato flesh down to small cubes. Add it to the avocado and season with some chopped chilli, salt, pepper and the remaining lime juice.
Plating:
Place a small round mould in the middle of a plate. Fill the bottom part of the mould with the Tartare mix, compress it carefully and top up with avocado salsa. Mix the lemon juice and olive oil together and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Pour over the herbs and let them marinade for a few minutes, before placing the herbs carefully on top of the tuna timbale. Decorate the plate with a few drops of lemon oil, a pinch of Piment d’Espelette and some balsamic reduction.

ThE nEW AuDI Q7 is almost a quantum leap forward for the model in terms of technology and features. While it boasts the same industry leading Quattro all-wheel-drive system and driver safety systems as last time, there are now a raft of new additions and driver assistance systems that really take it to another level.
The 2015 Q7 comes with the new 3.0l turbocharged V6 TFSI engine, putting out 333PS and 440Nm of torque in a smooth, linear delivery that really complimented the excellent driving experience.
For the European markets there was also the 3.0 TDI turbo diesel which we were fortunate enough to try, though this won’t be coming to the Middle East, which is a shame because we thought it was excellent.
This new model is also much lighter than its predecessor, 325kg, to be exact, thanks to wider use of aluminium and other lightweight
materials in its construction. All this equates to increased fuel efficiency of 27% for the petrol engine, making it the best in its class.
The passenger experience in the Q7 is second to none. The car is extremely spacious and comfortable, with the added practicality of an optional extra third row of seating to carry seven. The ride comfort is impressively smooth, even for a luxury SUV, thanks to the (optional) adaptive air suspension. It is also incredibly easy to drive, with light, responsive steering, and good allround visibility aided by a 360 degree parking camera.
And we haven’t even started on the new technologies yet! Listing them all in detail would be impossible, so we’ll just go through some of our favourites: There is the pedestrian warning and brake assist, which will stop the car from running over someone walking into the road; there’s the
oncoming collision brake assist, which will stop you turning into an oncoming car; there is driverless parking for both parallel and perpendicular spaces, and finally; optional Android-based Audi tablets in the back featuring games, information and entertainment to keep kids both big and small quiet in the back on long journeys!
The infotainment system was one of the best we’ve seen, especially when mated to the stunning optional Bang & Olufsen premium speaker system. The navigation system uses Google Maps as an interface, which has the option of showing the Satellite imagery for a super clear view of the road.
Overall, there was really nothing we could find fault with in this new Q7 – everything in it has been taken to a whole new level. Audi have really come out swinging with this one, and we think the sales figures will speak for themselves.
The Icon A5 amphibious light aircraft brings private aviation into new realms of accessibility and convenience, as well as enjoyment!
ThE A5 is a pioneering new project by Icon Aircraft. It is a compact light-sport plane with automatic fold-away wings that is usable on both land and sea. This means that it can be kept on a trailer in your garage, and then towed to an airfield.
However, it can also be launched from a suitable boat ramp or beach, or even from the tender bay of a large yacht, and take off from the water, negating the need for an airfield completely.
Despite its compact size, the Icon A5 doesn’t compromise on comfort. It boasts a cosy cockpit with comfortable seating for two and an excellent field of vision to enjoy the excitement of the agile flight capabilities of the A5.
One of the most pioneering aspects of the Icon A5 is the Angle of Attack (AoA) system. The angle of attack, roughly translated, is the angle of the plane’s wing in relation to the oncoming air. If you pull up or turn sharply, the plane will still be travelling forwards while the wings will be flatter against the oncoming air, resulting in loss of speed. This is why passenger airliners approach the runway and land
with their nose pointed upwards, so that the wings are flatter against the air, helping them to reduce speed.
The Icon A5 features an indicator of angle of attack with lines showing the optimal angle for landing on land, landing on water, and also AoA whilst making turns during flight making flying the Icon A5 much easier for owners. This is industry-first technology introduced by Icon Aircraft.
Ultimately, what makes the Icon A5 truly ground breaking is its versatility. Where else can you find a plane that can land on both land and sea, and fold away to fit into the tender bay of your yacht, or on to a trailer that can be towed by your SUV? Plus, at only around $200 grand, it is surprisingly affordable for an aircraft of this calibre. The versatility and affordability will therefore put private aviation well within the reach of many who might not previously have been able to consider it.
This is, ladies and gentlemen, the ULTIMATE big boy’s toy!

The watches are a combination of traditional watchmaking skills learned over decades, and modern techniques that improve quality.
o n E o F T h E SEC r ETS to the success of Officine Panerai is its ability to combine a fine tradition, which is always at the foundation of each new design, with a continuous thrust towards the future and innovation.
In 2010 Officine Panerai amazed the world of watchmaking by offering the Luminor Submersible for the first time with a case of bronze, an ancient material with unmistakable nautical associations, which is personalised by ageing with the passage of time.
Officine Panerai’s Workshop of Ideas now presents a remarkable new technical innovation which makes each example of this new Luminor Submersible different from the others. The case is made of carbotech, a composite material based on carbon fibre, never before used in the world of watchmaking.
As well as providing exceptional technical performance, carbotech has an uneven, matt black appearance, which varies according the cutting of the material, the result being that each example is unique. It is used to make the case, the rotating bezel and the lever bridge protecting the winding crown. To form the plates of carbotech from which these components are made, thin sheets of carbon fibres are compressed at a controlled temperature under high pressure together with a high-end polymer which binds the composite material, making it even stronger and more durable. The mechanical benefits of carbotech are much higher than those of similar materials or of other materials used in the world of watchmaking, such as ceramics and titanium: carbotech is lighter than these and much more resistant to external solicitations, as well as being hypoallergenic and not subject to corrosion.
While the technology of the material looks to the future, every detail of the design of the watch is faithfully inspired by the history of the brand. The Luminor 1950 case (47 mm in diameter), developed by Panerai in the late 1940s to be worn on the wrists
of commandos of the Italian Navy, is enhanced by a rotating bezel with markers consisting of small studs, inspired by the model created by Panerai for the Egyptian Navy in 1956.
The technological heart of the Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech is the P.9000 automatic calibre, developed and made by the Officine Panerai manufacturer in Neuchâtel. The movement, 133⁄4 lignes in diameter, has two spring barrels giving a power reserve of three days.
The screw-in caseback, which helps to ensure the watch’s high degree of water-resistance, is made of titanium with black treatment and it is engraved with elements characteristic of the Panerai brand: “Florence 1860”, the city and year of birth of Panerai watchmaking, and the image of a Slow Speed Torpedo (SLC), the notorious “pig” on which the commandos of the Italian Navy sailed through the depths of the sea on their missions in the 1940s while wearing instruments made by Panerai.
The latest incarnation of an iconic timepiece, the Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech truly marries tradition with innovation.
The P.9000 movements have two spring barrels, giving a power reserve of three days.
