The Notorious San Francisco Maru

If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past few years it’s that if you feel that you may regret not doing something, (in the words of Shia LaBeouf) just do it. No matter how tired, afraid, nervous or defeated you may feel, that accomplished feeling outweighs any thing else. Today was a great... Continue Reading →

On the seventh day, rest.

Today was not a great day for me. I woke up feeling like crap. Looks like whatever I had been fighting, finally caught up to me. I ate some breakfast and went back to bed until 10 am. I woke up, asked the cooks to make me some ginger tea and have been sipping on... Continue Reading →

The SS Thorfinn

Today we woke up and semi packed our gear in anticipation to board the SS Thorfinn. My dad has wanted to dive on this boat for over 25 years. Today, I got to live out his dream. We settled our bills, did a little bit of shopping at the dive shop and then headed to... Continue Reading →

Tanks and Shipwrecks

I powered through and we headed to the Nippo Maru. The Nippo Maru is a 352’ long freighter. The bridge started at 90’, the... Continue Reading →

This morning we woke up after sleeping like babies and headed out for some breakfast. I ate 3 large banana pancakes, a plate of bacon, and two hash... Continue Reading →

Mother CHUUKKERS!!!!

I must say, I never thought I’d be laying in a hammock at 8:30pm at night with nothing but the sound of wind in the trees, the humming of crickets, with water calmly splashing against the rocks and the faint sound of music from the bar writing about my trip. If this isn’t paradise I don’t... Continue Reading →

Aloha!

Aloha! The journey started off with an early morning flight. Because of traveling through the US, I had to be at the airport for 5am to catch our 8am flight to LAX where we would take a connecting flight to Hawaii. Traveling with Scuba gear is always interesting. There was a lot of planning involved... Continue Reading →

Check 1,2, Check

The days are counting down, my journey to Truk Lagoon is only a few days away now. I am beyond excited. I've started to watch more videos and learn more about Truk Lagoon. The military operation was called "Operation Hailstone". It consisted of two days of bombardment crippling the Japanese military. During recon, over 400... Continue Reading →
