Went over for a weekend dive with my friends Ray, Wendell, Puna, Johnny, Sue, and Conrad. The water was so nice over there and visibility was at least 100 ft. We had a great crew on board and local boy Derek Hara (not in photo) also joined us. His wife made us the most awesome bento lunches that all we could think about while diving was getting back on the boat and eating.
Our mission was to have 3 divers who never speared pelagic fish before get one each. Mission accomplished as 19 year old Johnny showed us how it was done on this bull mahi. He was stoked and made his dad, Wendell so proud as we got it all on high def video for him to relive.
We ate fresh mahi, ono, ahi, everyday and even saw marlin! Lori Shirakawa made us an awesome dinner that everyone gained weight on the trip.
Then we ate "kona gold" also known as lychee with ice cream on the side. This was so ono, I couldn't stop.
We visited Rick and Angela Bettua of Aimrite Spearfishing on our way out and got a tour of their factory. We had a great time from the Big Island and look forward to getting back there again soon! A big mahalo to Ray, Lori, Derek, and the dive crew for the invitation!
