    hello from japan

    hi everyone.

    i have dove for 22 years and yet got certified for nitrox and dolphin use only this month. my main motive was to get closer to fish for good shots.
    although i grew up in san franscisco, ca, i have lived in tokyo for the last 12 years. this is a very stimulating country in terms of a great variety of fish that you see in different seasons! it is also unbelievable that you can ice-dive in shiretoko and enjoy tropical coral reef in okinawa, BOTH IN THE SAME MONTH!
    i'm leaving for ishigaki in a few days and planning to dive with dolphin. i bet i will be the first diver using dolphin there. as they have no facility in which nitrox is charged, i had to ship my nitrox tank from tokyo. if i can get so close to a sailfin shrimp goby that i can touch it, my effort is worthwhile.

    I meant "Irish people."

    thank you moon wrasse, scott riemer, scubajoe, matt the wonder boy, murphdivers 286, and lil's irish temper. i'm impressed with a variety of locations where the members live, from the west coast to the east coast of the US. i live in japan now so that i want to let you know about diving status, tech diving in particular, in this country.
    i have got one more thing to say. i booked for live-aboard in palau in september and isla del coco in april next year. let me hear from you guys about these two destinations.

    There are people from all over the world here, not just the USA. Thailand, New Zealand, Europe, Scandinavia, and some from Japan.
