Rene vd Laan

I obtained my first PADI diving license in 2004 and became a member of a diving club in Bergen op Zoom. This was followed by certifications from PADI, GUE and IANTD. I am now a Trimix plus diver and after a Trimix blender course I can blend my own gas. I also met Ronald at the diving club and we got along well right away. When he started filming I was quickly infected. In 2014 I started posting videos on my YouTube channel.

In 2016 I became club champion with the first longer film with a script. Then I got a taste for filming and editing. In 2017 I decided to first participate in the OBK, the Belgian championships. There I took 1st place among juniors. 2018 ONK starters, I also achieved the gold medal there. This meant that from now on I had to participate in the Masters. In 2019 this resulted in a second place, with Ronald winning gold. The following year, 2020 and 2021, I became Dutch Champion at the masters ONK. Because I had also submitted to the OBK, I won the silver medal there in 2021, and gold for best script. In 2022 I thought it was time to venture into my own production. It became De Bergsediepsluis - Life in dark waters. I already worked with Ronald on this, he provided the drone images. This documentary was selected for Film by theSea and awarded bronze at the Belgrade Film Festival.
