They don`t birthdays in Japan. Here is why. In my travels across Japan, I’ve noticed something striking: many older people don’t count their birthdays. In the West, we measure life as a straight line— birth, growth, productivity… then decline. But what if that’s the wrong model? In Japan, aging feels different. Less about fading… more about remaining part of the rhythm of life— engaged, respected, and connected across generations. It reminded me of a line from Crocodile Dundee: “When were you born?” “Summertime.” Not a number. A season.

Scuba diving into the depths of one of our favorite wreck dive sites we meet a truly giant fish, the elusive Goliath Grouper. Just six miles off of Key West, the 522 ft/159 m USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg offers one of the largest artificial reefs in the world. This WWII-era troop transport and missile-tracking ship sits in 165 ft/50 m and rises to 55 ft/17 m, the equivalent of 11 Stories tall offering an amazing playground for divers seeking unique wild life encounters. In this video we were lucky enough to meet not one but two giant Goliath Grouper as they skillfully glide through this impressive wreck dive. Want to meet a Goliath Grouper?
