We can see many kinds of underwater creatures in this term.
There are so many baby underwater creatures now.

Small fishes is so cute.
The file fish hide soon when we get close to her. When she hide in the hole, she use her fins.
The behavior is so cute!!!

When we go to diving at out of the ocean, we often meet boxer crab.
We met boxer crab that has eggs today.

The orange part is eggs.
It’s so beautiful!!!  She didn’t move at all.

At end of the dive, we can meet blenny that lives in coral.
It seems to be smiling!! The face is so cute.

When you take a pic of her, you can see smily face.
When you meet this fish, I want you to try taking pics.

Tomorrow will be weekends.
The sea condition will be nice.

We will enjoy diving tomorrow as well!!

See you then(^^)/

It was rainy at morning, but it will be sunny afternoon.
So, it is warm on the ground today. But the water temperature is little bit low.

The water temperature of the bottom area is about 20 degree.
After doing diving for 45 min, I feel little bit cold.

The water temperature is low but underwater creatures are still active now.
There are many baby fishes.

I can see baby eel today.
The size is 5mm. It’s so tiny and cute!!

When getting angry, this eel is shaking neck.
The appearance is so cute.

And I can find tiny shrimp.

The academic name is so long…
It is called “Pliopontonia furtive anemone shrimp” .

The shrimp lives in disk coral. They pinch its coral by their leg.
So, I  cannot see anything on the coral.
But, sometimes the shrimps appear from coral.

If you can see it, you’re lucky.

At other area, there are many young damsels.

The number of damsel that usually lives in southern area is getting increase.
This damsel like a warm water. So I can see it in summer season.

At last, I can find boxer crab.

I can find it at the dive point of out of the ocean as usual.
But, I could find it in the bay side area today.

When I find this crab, I feel so happy.

It will be sunny tomorrow.
I hope the water temperature is getting warmer.

I will dive three times in a day tomorrow.
I wonder if I can meet many underwater creatures.

See you then(^^)/

I hope the visibility will continue forever.

There are so many fishes.
It looks like Okinawa.
You can come to Kushimoto by 3 hours from Kansai airport.
Shall you come to Kushimoto?

There are many boxer crab at the point of out of the ocean.

I can find 6 boxer crabs in a dive.
I guess there are more in the point.

The diving season has come and the number of guest from oversea has increased .
