I often find tiny frogfish nowadays. I think the number of tiny frogfish is getting more in Kushimoto area.

Recently, there are a lot of Pikachu in Kushimoto area.

If you want to see this, I recommend you to come in this season.

In a second dive, I met many kinds of shrimps.
Today’s guest like this crab the best in this dive.

It is called “Sobagara-gani” in Japanese.
We don’t usually show it our guest, so they have never seen it.
He said he was impressed it.

I could find a Harlequin shrimp in the end of second dive.

But, the situation is very hard to take a pics. Because guests camera is big one.
The compact Digital camera is the best choice for taking the picture.

We will go to the point of out of the ocean tomorrow.
I hope we can meet Hammerhead shark like a stuff.
