Hello from Japan!

[Umi-ushi]

Hi there! My name is Emi.
I'm 16 years old, a high school student, and am excited to say I just got my open water diving certification! My favorite invertebrate, if you couldn't tell already, is the nudibranch Jorunna Parva! Ever since childhood, I've always dreamed of diving after being introduced to the concept by the now ancient Endless Ocean Wii Game. Now I'm an aspiring marine biology student, hoping to specialize in deep sea ecology. I study lots in my free time to help me prepare. Outside of marine biology, I'm the district student ambassador for biochemistry.

I currently live in Kansas City, where there aren't many dive opportunities. Fortunately, my job of manually importing Japanese goods has opened up the ability for me to explore amazing saltwater dive sites! I hope to get my own gear soon, as I plan to go to Hawaii in December and don't want to pass up the opportunity. Please don't hesitate to say hello! I'd love to have more diving buddies!

Welcome! Congratulations on your open water certification! If you want to do some fresh water diving come down to Beaver Lake AR. It's only a few hours south of KC.

I'm glad you were able to understand! I picked out this username for a reason, after all! I've just completed my first dive, and already experienced quite a bit!
