woke up and checked the waves. junk! check the diving conditions. GOOD! hayato is leaving soon and i know he wants to dive, and i call my nephews. the contest was on hold so they were on diving standby. if the contest was on, the surf. if not, they dive. so i was checking my phone every 30 minutes. no call so it was just hayato and i. launch, speed down to my free ice box dive spots. pretty much full of fish. hayato takes the first drop, and lands the first fish. from there on, we were just catching fish after fish. i ended up doing 70 dives!!! so tired!

we dive so far out in the ocean. no way you can swim out so a boat is required. my boat has been working like a champion and i’m in love with it. at this dive, it was about 30′ with lots of fish. one drop, one fish!

hayato’s gun seems to be working good.

2 guys filling up the cooler. we came home, hayato cut a fish, we ate sashimi, and i’m going to sleep really good tonight.
the contest is on and YES!!! my nephew joshua moniz won his heat! other advancing were masatoshi ohno, yujiro tsuji. photos coming soon!

Hayato Maki @ Secret spot!
Good day.
Good dive.
Good fish.
Good dinner.
