Saori-san is learning how to free dive. super stoked to teach her a few tricks and watch her try it out.
diving on dark cloudy days has it’s advantages. one reason is the fish can’t see you as well. on a clear day, these fish would run away. but on dark days, the fish have no idea you’re down there. i wish i had my speargun!
even the turtles act differently on dark days. they seem to be more relaxed and at ease.
i put a weight belt on Saori-san and she told me “no, i’m going to sink!” i told her “if you want to dive deep, you need a weight belt.” so she ended up wearing one and went pretty deep. so deep that she went into the turtle world!
see the black fish? those are called Kole. had some pretty big ones but didn’t really want to spear them while they are cleaning the turtles back. that wouldn’t be too cool right?
glassy conditions. see Mayuki way in the back? when Mayuki goes up, the sets are coming!
and when the sets come, we go! nice wave Saori-san!
and after such a great wave, the paddle back out is one of happiness.
and another good one!
and practicing the cross step. well done!
the waves were so good so i was super stoked to ride some too!
awesome diving and Surfing Saori-san! 2 more days of boot camp so be ready!
