The Wakayama diving shop:
Look out for Ishmele:
Minutes before going down: Diving teacher, Masako, and me. It was her and my first dive.
Diving bums: Some regulars relax and drink on the beach.
Shells:
A famous suicide cliff: In Shirahama.
Air anyone?: Yes, tanks.
Do these diving weights go with my shoes?: Umeda and Sayaka before their dive.
So, you want the purple gloves or not?: Masako doesn't believe me when I say, "Chi-zu."
Lock and load: Umeda's suited up and ready.
Two thumbs up for Schick razors: Diving teacher (who lost my waterproof camera after 3 photos; it was later found though so he redeemed himself).
After the dive: Umeda was happy that day.
Masako enjoys the "sand":
Bend those knees now: Sayaka in front of the Shirahama Cliffs
No railings: It's a very steep drop to jagged rocks below. Not in a very good mood as I'd popped my ear during diving.
