Camping, Diving & Kayaking at Okuma Beach

Hands down, this was the best weekend I've had since we arrived in Okinawa! We spent two days at a military-only, secluded resort called Okuma for camping, diving and kayaking with two of our newest friends.



On Saturday (for the first time in over a year), Kevin and I donned our masks, fins & tanks to go scuba diving... sinking almost sixty feet under the surface of the East China Sea to see hundreds of tropical fish and canyons full of brightly-colored coral.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the actual dive. 
Our underwater camera got stolen at the Tough Mudder Race in Texas.

Instead of staying in a hotel, cabin or condo, we chose to be "at one with nature" and pitch a tent (so to speak)... ;)


Of course, we relaxed on the beach & went swimming in the emerald waters...


Kevin and John bought matching hats...


Allison and I worked on our tans...


The four of us shared a few drinks...


Captured the moonlight reflecting off the water...


Fed a little boy his first-ever S'MORE...


Acted like children...



Hiked through a cove...


Kayaked our way through the ocean...



Managed to get stuck in a rip current that was pushing us out to sea... 



But thankfully, due to a combination of arm power, paddling and persistence, we eventually made it back to the shore.


All in all, it was the perfect weekend with the perfect scenery and the perfect company... and I can't wait to go back!
