gosh, i sure miss those wakayama oysters from the other day. it was so creamy!!! thanks again waka-san for taking me diving. can’t wait to go again….
somebody asked me the other day how deep i can go. i really don’t know because i don’t dive with a dive watch. i use to have one but freaked out when i’d dive deeper than 60′ or 20 meters because the alarm would beep. it was a mental thing so i gave the watch away. the deepest i’ve ever dove before? umm… i used a 100′ or 30 meter tag line before and took it all the way down. if i didn’t have the line holding me back, i would have went deeper to chase that fish. but when the line stretched and i realized how deep i was, i looked up and got a little scared. so to say exactly how deep i dove before, i wouldn’t be able to answer that. diving is 90% mental and if you have a strong focused mind, you can make 100′ deep dives and hold your breath for 3 minutes no problem…. just make sure you have a dive partner you trust your life with….
and last, as probably every single japanese person knows, sakai noriko got released on bail for doing drugs. i watched the news and couldn’t help to feel sorry for her. people make mistakes in life and i just hope everybody can forgive her. i already did. why? because in america, drugs are a big problem and i’ve seen it ruin too many lives. and i also seen drug addicts recover and do good things for the community. nobody is perfect. i just hope noriko can recover and educate japans youth about the dangers of drugs. we need role models that have been there and done it. we can now just sit back and hope that good comes out from all this bad. ganbatte aya!!!
