a friend just called me yesterday and asked where’s a good spot to free dive in town. i had to pause and think about it. then i told him “i don’t know anymore. the last few times i dove in town, i didn’t see any fish.” i remember the days of an abundance of fish in town. not anymore. then i thought about the other side of the world. i wonder if things there will become like Hawaii? from lots of fish, to nothing. a scary thought…
anyway, i’ll never forget this dive trip in West Sumatra, Indonesia. i remember diving down deep with my little 90cm speargun, flowing with the strong current, and snapping my fingers to attract fish. then in 2 dives, this was the result. i was with my closest Japanese friends and you should have seen the barrels we got that evening and the birthday party we had that night. that was one of the best days in my life…
