It was sunny today.
The sea is calm. So we can enjoy diving without stress.

Now, there are many kinds of creatures in Kushimoto area.
For example, shrimps, crabs and fishes.

Today, we can meet rare shrimp.

The shrimp is called ” Tedurumosuru-kakure-ebi” in Japanese.
The shrimp are good at hiding.
It is often hidden in starfish called Tezurumozuru.

And I meet this fish.
The fish are also good at hiding.

The fish mimics a tree branch.
So, when you find it, the trick is to believe and look for it.

In Autumn, there are many kinds of baby fishes.

Baby box fish is so cute.
It looks like a dice. the size is 1~2 cm.

Also, the number of tropical fish is increasing .
There are many grouper goby recently .

The fish lives in warm waters. For example, Okinawa, Indonesia, Philippines.

It’s the weekend from tomorrow.
Many guests will come to our shop.

I will enjoy diving tomorrow.

See you then!!

Bye(^^)/

Hi, there!!
I didn’t write blog for a long time.

Then, Today I went to research dive.
I think I showed you macro creatures recently.

So, I will show you schools of fishes today.

Now, there are so many fishes in bayside dive point.

There are Russell’s snapper, yellow stripe goat fish, Banded boar fish and so on.
I think this place is the best for taking a pic of schools of fishes or observing them.

In this year, the number of White-caudal chromis is more than usual.
The color is yellow, so it’s so beautiful!!

When you make a safety stop, you can see this situation in sunny day.

It looks like aurora. Don’t you think so?

Of course, there are also so many macro creatures.
Now, the number of emperor shrimp is increasing .

At the end of dive, I can meet lion fish on the top of rock.
It’s so big!!

The visibility is very good and you must be going to enjoy diving!!

I’m looking forward you to come to our shop!!

The subject of the research is Nudibranch.

From next month, we will form a team to search for Nudibranch.
Most nudibranch is tiny, so I have to look for it carefully.

The Nudibranch that I could find is 2mm to 5mm.
Today, I was able to discover about 10 types of Nudibranch in total.

I’m so happy when I can find them.
Why don’t we look for it together?
This diving style is one of Japanese diving style.

When I search for Nudibranch, I could find out other creatures accidentally .

Today I found it.

It’s shrimp. They are good at hiding.
So, If you can meet this shrimp , you are very lucky to meet you.

Of course there are still schools of fish in other places.

A wide range of creatures, from schools of fish to small Nudibranchs, can be observed in the current sea of Kushimoto.

When you come to Japan or visit Wakayama Pref, Please come and visit us!!

So, I recommend you to bring something to protect wind.

Then, I could find tiny creature that is hard to find.
That is Japanese pigmy seahourse.

The size is 5mm.
It’s tiny. So, when you observe it, you may have to bring microscope or Camera.

And at last dive, I met Blu-ringed octopus.
The octopus is rare in Kushimoto.

The blue ring is beautiful but they have strong poison in their mouth.
So, when you observe them, Please be careful not to be bitten.

I think drysuit are recommended after next month.
Even if you haven’t wear, we will practice how to use drysuit at first, so please come and try it.

I’m happy that the number of foreign guest is increasing recently.
I hope many foreign guest come to Kushimoto area.
