The weekend finished today.
The swell was not getting bigger than yesterday.

So, we can enjoy diving easily.
At first dive, I went to out of the ocean.
There are so many fishes.

Especially , greenfish is so lot!!!

After first dive, I went to bayside dive site.
There are various of macro creatures now.

The baby frog fish is popular among Japanese diver.

I cannot check tiny frog fish today.
So, I wanna check if the frogfish are staying at the same place.

Also, other rare macro creatures are still seen.
If you like macro creatures, this season is the best to dive, I think.

But, forecast said that the swell will be getting bigger tomorrow.
I hope I will be able to dive in a whole day.

See you then(^^)/

We think the swell is getting bigger than yesterday.

So, I can dive without stress for a day.

I teach the guest how to take a natural buoyancy underwater.
Finally, he can be good at taking natural buoyancy well.

When we make a safety stop, he can stay at the same depth without holding line.
I’m happy that he can get adjusting buoyancy skill.

As for underwater creature, we can see various one.

First, we can see puffer.
It is big puffer, the size is 50cm.
It swim slowly, so we can take a picture of it and hang out with it.

Then, small frog fish still stay at the same place.
It stay at the hole to escape the swell.

When it hade in the hole, it is difficult to find.

Others, we can see cute eel.
The mouth is yellow, so it is photogenic.

The forecast said the swell will be bigger tomorrow.
