This stunning place is Cape Manzamo, in the town of Onna. We went on a dive here on Saturday with two good friends and it was amazing. If you could listen to my thought process while we were diving in the deep turquoise water, swimming through arches of corral, surrounded by the most gorgeous, brightly colored fish, looking up above us to see the sun streaming into the sea, you would have heard something like: “WOW, Lord! You truly are the Creator of the universe. Thank you!”
We took some videos over the past few weekends together {including this Cape!} when Cam wasn’t in the field or working, that I put together for you. The last part is from our anniversary trip to Thailand. There’s so much missing in this, but atleast it gives you a little glimpse of the beautiful island we get to call home.

What beautiful water! And so fun that you tried out videography! I don't think I'd be very good at it either, but it sounds fun to try. I loved seeing the little glimpses of Japan because it reminds me of China, where I used to live!

My family used to go here all the time when we lived on Oki! My dad used to spearfish, and we would snorkel around the cave with all the reef fish. Great memories:)
Jenna says
Ah, this looks too gorgeous for words! I haven't been diving in way too long and that needs to change very soon 🙂 Diving has to be one of the most magical experiences ever… I can't get enough!

Came across your blog via a RT by Erin at the Spiffy Cookie – got sucked in to your posts + recipes already. I grew up in Asia and spent the last 6 years of school in Hong Kong so I especially love to follow along with other expats journeys abroad. Thanks for sharing your family's story!
