day 3 for Asayama-san this morning. just training to be relaxed, confident, and focused. why? because there is a big swell coming very soon!

Asayama-san doesn’t like to go left so i made him go left all day long. if you get better going left, you will get better going right. it’s that simple.

then had a great lunch in china town, then headed off into the rainbow for our evening free dive.

it was getting dark and this is my favorite time because it’s feeding time for fish. and it’s dark underwater so the fish can’t see you. but sometimes you can’t see them.

then i see a shadow under me. probably because i’m holding a dead fish. i dive down to check it out and as i got nearer, it turned towards me. then i seen the stripes! OMG! SHIT! TIGER SHARK!!!!

then went to eat some sushi and have a beer talking about the coolest day ever. to swim with a tiger shark is very lucky. Asayama-san told me “what do you mean lucky????” haha.
