Kylen dove 70x, i dove 55x, and Gen probably dove 70 too.  these kids are getting better and better.  super proud of them.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-28.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-28.jpg\" alt=\"photo 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-34112\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nthere was a ledge we drove over.  from 40&#8242; dropping off to 120&#8242;.  we anchor, we jump in, and check it out.  i drop down into a pile of fish, i wait on the bottom calmly, then i see this fish coming out of the deep blue.  it was a Spotted Knife Jaw or &#8220;Ishi-Dai&#8221; in japanese.  these fish are really rare in hawaii, especially this size.  i wait patiently, he comes in, i take a shot, and he is mine.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-46.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-46.jpg\" alt=\"photo 4\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-34111\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nGen and Kylen are getting so good at diving.  when i first went with them a couple of years ago, they were just babies.  now, they are growing into fine water men.  good surfing, good diving, what more could you ask for?  good job boys!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-56.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-56.jpg\" alt=\"photo 5\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-34113\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nand want to thank Gen for this amazing photo he took this morning.  you couldn&#8217;t have asked for a more beautiful day in hawaii.  tonight we will all be sleeping like babies.  good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the boys went up another level in experience, and skill. we did something different today, which was to drift dive. i take my boat out to the 50&#8242; blue water, we all jump in, and drift with my boat. it&#8217;s kind of tricky because you have to time the wind and current, and at the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-34109","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-kirby-blogs"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
