About Roy

I love a variety of ocean-related activities, from sailing to diving.
I moved to Hawaii to study marine science. I dropped out of Graduate school to teach SCUBA diving. I captained boats for about 35 years in Hawaii before retiring.
Now I am living in Amami Oshima Island, Japan, where I enjoy exploring the other side of the ocean.
Through this site, I hope to share my photos of Japan and Hawaii with my family, friends, and anyone who is interested in the ocean and the wonderful natural world around me.
