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.
look at this beautiful photo! turtle, Nao-san, and Mayuki. awesome!
can you count the turtles? i can see five.
Seigo-san is a very good swimmer. he’s like a fish in the sea.
Nao-san on her first turtle experience. these images will probably be in her mind forever.
i wish i could take everyone here! i want to show the natural beauty of hawaii!
these are my friends. i can look at them right in the eye and they won’t even blink.
then an eagle ray came by to say hello.
have you ever swam next to one of these? it’s so graceful!
Seigo-san observing the turtles from the top.
and also from the bottom.
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.
