  • Kimi Werner has a dream come true when she goes freediving for scallops for the very first time. This underwater treasure hunt comes with a few challenges and a whole lot of beauty! So much beauty, that it is celebrated with a date night on the old dock, cooking up fresh scallops for the first time. But the true magic of this episode is the tribute to Buddy and nature and the time they spent together in Alaska!
    Thank you!

    Somebody gave this a thumbs down. That must be somebody blind and deaf because is pure brilliance!! The ode to the savage one, just WOW!! Gave me goosebumps. Buddy has two amazing teachers in life. And his beautiful smile tells me he knows. Sad this is the last episode in the Alaska series. But I just know there is much more to come. 10 times better then any show on TV. Keep on be you! Namaste 🙏

Suddenly I was crying just like Buddy does! What a wonderful thing it is to follow along on that journey with you guys! Thank you a million times for these videos- they are absolute gems that make my week!

    As others have already stated, the buddy ending was fantastic. Buddy and this look into your family life is a happiness to those of us that share with you your videos. It goes well beyond just diving. It's a statement of finding true values in life. We will always be grateful to you for this. And yes, this one elemakule has seen too many wild places gone forever. Some people only see dollars signs and can't understand beyond that. I pity them. I feel sorry for them that they'll never know true wealth, the wealth that doesn't fit in a wallet or bank account. They'll always be the poorer for that. mahalo

I love exploring the world vicariously through you, learning about Hawaii’s and other cultures' cuisines, witnessing your prowess underwater and your gratitude and respect for the fish and seafood you catch, seeing where our food comes from, and observing the love you have for your family and friends - and for the earth itself. Food, family, and friends truly is the key to happiness! Mahalo.

    Are there scallops around Hawaii? Fresh scallops tend to get a little chewy when cooked. Try them raw. They are super sweet. You’ve inspired my to purchase my first spear gun.
