Spearfishing 101

This weekend was very special for these two young boys.  It was their first spearfishing experience in the waters of Kauai.  Maika (left) is 7 years old and Kai (right) is 8 and they were about to embark on a journey that would change their lives forever.  Lots of children like to watch tv, ride bike, play video games, but when you can go outside and enjoy natures finest moments you will never be the same.  



Walking to the the beach, you could see the anticipation on their faces.  Winds were up, little rain, cold but both were ready and nervous but kept walking, practicing with their 3 prongs poking leaves, sand, and rubbish on the ground.  We talked about dive plan, weather conditions, currents, and safety.

It was a great day and we got to see some cool things in the ocean.  Once Maika spotted some fish he got excited and started pulling back his rubber on the 3 prong.  Swoosh, bam, almost he got one..Hope you boys had lots of fun!
