Huseyn

Huseyn has visited a lot of different countries like Australia to dive in the beautiful water there. He has always loved the ocean. Now, he’s fourteen. He has had his big aquarium for three years, since he was eleven. Husseyn wants to have an aquarium where he can keep one or two sharks, but it is quite difficult in Lenkoran.
