Fishing with Kaca Molo in Rauki

Rauki village has a pretty decent house reef.  After the snorkeling activity with the students, they were taken home for lunch, and I decided to stay in the water for a bit and swim back to the ship later.  I met up with this youngster looking for fish with his traditional 'kaca molo' (dive glasses)...



These 'coke-bottle' glasses have frames carved from wood, with coke bottle bottoms set in... They leak like crazy and are not very comfortable, but they seem to work for the locals!
