Kaino Shioji

Kaino Shioji is is the youngest son of Kelly and Shino Shioji. At just eight years old, he was eager to be part of this project. Sitting beside the old diving suit and boots, Kaino was reminded of his grandfather, who migrated to Australia in the 1950s and contributed to the pearling industry by crafting many of the lead weighted boots used by deep sea divers. Kaino feels a great pride in his grandfather’s legacy. He has a strong love of learning, enjoys helping his father cook, and finds joy in fishing and spending time out on Country.
