DIVING
I am a NAUI Masterdiver and have been certified since 2005. I try to go diving at least one day every weekend but sometimes the waves have other ideas. For the frequent diver, boat dives are expensive! So I do shore dives almost exclusively. My husband, friends, and I started exploring shore dive sites around O'ahu and have found some great spots! My plan for the diving aspect of this blog is to map out the dives I do and to showcase some of the organisms I see. Diving new sites is one of the most thrilling parts of diving! You don't know what kinds of fish, algae, coral, and other invertebrates you will see!

COOKING
I am not a chef, I am a marine biologist that happens to love food. LOVE IT. If I had to describe my cooking abilities I would say average. I normally have a set "menu" which I cook from. You know, the standards that you always fall back to. Frozen veggie stir frys, spaghetti, pizza...you get the idea. Boring. So I would like to change that. I am going to try at least one new recipe every week and discuss how successful it was or why it flopped. This will help me become a better cook and maybe help you avoid making my mistakes :)
Hahaha. Only example of my cooking that I have right now.
