I literally only had a backpack with a couple days of clothes with me. The next day, I got picked up, driven to Haneda, and boarded a private jet with people I hardly even knew. Then got on another private jet and taken to an island somewhere deep in Indonesia. Little did I know, that trip would change the course of my life. 
This was the first trip in my life I wasn’t prepared for. So I start looking around the storage area on the boat trying to find something to do. I came across a mask and speargun. I asked the driver if he could take me to the nearest reef. I jumped in and couldn’t believe the abundance of wildlife. I took a deep dive, waited on the bottom in total silence, watching the fish starting to get curious, and when I seen this guy come within striking distance, I took the shot. A perfect shot to the head and this became our appetizer.
I look back now and still think it was a dream. Getting invited to a special Indonesia Boat Trip with an elite group of kind ladies and gentlemen. That only happens in the movies right?
By the way, I didn’t answer yes or no to the invite. I said I needed to think about it. The next morning, I got a call saying “you’re coming!” Then I went…
