want to welcome a newborn into this wonderful world we live in. congratulations Kimura-san on your beautiful baby boy! very very happy news for me.

turtles are pretty predictable. you can go to the same place every day and see the same turtle. this guy just hangs out all day long on this exact spot.

you can swim around and he will come close to check you out. pretty big guy.

when i’m blue water diving, i really don’t care if i spear a fish. all i want to do is dive deep and experience a different world and different feeling. i went down 80′ yesterday and felt so much pressure in my body that i started to feel delirious. it’s an awesome natural high that i love. can’t’ wait to do it again. and again. and again.

the big news these days is Hilary Clinton’s email scandal. she’s running for president but has a dark cloud over her head. she broke the law by using her private email server for top secret emails. and when she was asked to turn it over, she deleted it. what??? this might be our next president? i’m not into politics but i am human. if you break the law and try to hide it, that’s not smart. i’m sure some chinese hackers are working on it right now to get into her deleted server. the truth will come out. stay tuned.

Kelia Moniz is still on the top of the world in the surfing industry. everywhere you look, there she is. i drive down waikiki and see huge billboards with her on it, i travel to foreign countries and see her advertisements everywhere too. a superstar world champion!
check out this cool video called “Roam.” good job Kelia!

Have a wonderful day!

gosh, i was driving down to the beach at 6:30am and it was already 28C or 82F. i knew it was going to be a freaking hot day!

loaded up the boat with diving gear, surfing gear, fishing gear, and friends.

on the way out, dropped the fishing poles in the water and bam! these are the kind of days you know it’s going to be good. Yuko-chan with the catch and release papio.

then did some diving. so cool watching Reid getting better and better. going deeper, holding his breath longer, and catching bigger and better fish.

then it was blue water dive time outside in the deep blue. cut up some of the fish we caught to try to lure a bigger one in. nothing but a big turtle came. but it felt so good diving deep into the blue.

Ren is always open to new things. so we pull up to a sunken shipwreck that is 100′ down. it’s his first time doing something like this so i was surprised to see him cruising 40′ deep no problem. with proper training and better fins, i think he can touch the shipwreck easily.

today was so hot. good thing the ocean can cool us down.

Ta’ape are not only good eating, we have to get these invasive fish out of our waters. so catching a lot of them is essential. we caught 80 today. good job guys!

and a little mixed bag of other fish to complete the perfect day.

i tested out my new gun today! OMG, it sucks! i took my first 2 shots and completely missed the fish! then i got out my old faithful gun, took 2 shots, and shot 2 uhu’s in the head. i was bummed that my new toy was a failure, but happy that i have old faithful that never lets me down. i will never ever buy another speargun in my life. what a waste of time and money.
