Pro Surf Free Divers

192

got up at 4am and got ready for a very exciting day.  diving with my nephews is how i like to spend quality time with them.  just us and the ocean…

Joshua texted me in the morning “it’s raining, are we still going?”  i couldn’t believe he even asked me that?  of course we’re going!

so good to see the boys all grown up and being prepared.  i use to have to bring all the equipment for them, but now they have their own.

i take my first dive at 60′ and felt so calm.  it’s been so long that i forgot how good it feels so deep in the blue.  then as i come up, this is my gorgeous view.  i just love it!

i wasn’t planning to dive for a while because of my foot, but when Kyle sent me the message yesterday “i want to film your nephews,” i said “shoots!”  and then i texted Kekoa and he was laughing because he knew i wasn’t going to dive in a while too.  but everybody knows i live in the moment.   and that’s to live for today, not tomorrow…

Seth and Joshua are the 2 most busiest professional surfers in the world.  they hardly have time back home so i have to take advantage of moments like this.  next month, they’ll be off for the world tour and nobody knows when they’ll be back home…

thanks Kyle for making the spark for me to dive.  thanks Kekoa for being the awesome boat man, and thank you boys for just being respectful and coolest kids ever.

after i took off my bandages, this is what my cut looked like.  i spent about 4 hours in the ocean today and maybe overdid it.  when is cut ever going to heal???

saw fish, a turtle, a shark, and this coolest jellyfish!   i can’t wait to do this again!   maybe tomorrow?  haha…
