Pleasure Island Palau Diary

723

my palau trip last march is a total blur. ever since i got back to hawaii a few days after the tsumami, my mind hasn’t been the same. so looking back at the photos brought back some good memories. check it out.

every morning, we’d get up at dark, head to the harbor, and load up our gear for another amazing day in the ocean.

wanted to thank K.B at Pleasure Island Palau for setting us up this amazing condo. dive all day and come home to this? nice!

as a photographer, i still have a long way to go. sometimes i get so excited that i forget to take the photo. kyle nakamoto filming for Hawaii Skin Diver TV on this school of barracuda.

this is mike from guam. mike is a doctor and even though he saves lives, he had to save his own as a shark came from the bottom and attacked him. we got him back on the boat and he was just emotionless. i know that feeling all too well. i took this photo as he got on the boat and was thinking about his life. hey mike, keep this photo in your pocket and every time you look at it, thank god your still alive.
