we snorkeled and free dove for about an hour. and being that the water was clean, the sun out, and wildlife everywhere, i could have been a photographer for national geographic. haha.

Seigo-san is a very good swimmer. he’s like a fish in the sea.

if you can dive down 12 meters or 35 feet, you can take a nap on the bottom with the turtles. and if you know how to be very calm under that depth, they will invite you to their house. cheese!

i had to take this photo of Nao-san enjoying her last day in hawaii. this is called “a happy ending.”

Seigo-san diving in for the epic afternoon session. Nao-san and i were watching him catch so many waves and cheering him on.

if it wasn’t for beautiful Mayuki, my life would be incomplete. therefore, i want to thank Inaida-san from the bottom of my heart for making my life complete.
