It was sunny day today.
So, I can enjoy diving in a whole day without stress.

At the morning, We went to the dive point which we don’t usually go.
Then, I can find rare fishes in this dive.

It is Pobust ghost pipefish.
This color is so beautiful!!!  But, this color is a color pattern that you don’t usually see.

And then, I show you this scene.

Bonito attack to a school of silver-striped round herrings.
It is so powerful(^^)

Also, you can see various sea slugs from autumn season.

The color of this sea slug is so beautiful!!
So, many diver likes it!!

At last dive, we can see many candy crabs.

Then, it will be windy day tomorrow.
I hope the wind will not be strong….

See you then.

Overseas customers visited us every day this weekend.
Our shop becomes international day by day.

I’m so happy many foreign tourist to visit our shop.
Today, my team has three county members who come to Japan,China and Switzerland.

Today’s visibility is not good. So I show them macro creatures.

It isCandy crab. The body color is so beautiful!!
So, it is popular with a wide range of people.

And, I showed our guest this shrimp.

The back ground is orange, so he can take a beautiful picture today.
It’s also popular with overseas guest.

It is a shrimp that leaves an impression because of its white tentacles.

At last, I want to show you emperor angel fish.

This fish changes its pattern as it grows.
When it is young, the pattern is beautiful and unique.

So most diver is impressed this fish.

From now on, overseas guests will come to visit us one after another.
I will do my best  our shop to be more international.

Thank you for coming our shop in this weekend.

The typhoon is coming near Kii Peninsula.
So, the swell is getting bigger today.
I guess I will not be able to dive until Wesday.

I hope the swell is getting smaller as soon as possible.

On the other hands,  the visibility is so good.
Sometimes I have to swim hardly to withstand the swell but I was able to enjoy diving most of the time.

There are many kinds of a school of fish.
Now, so many Chicken Grunt are staying at bay side point.

Others, we can see a various  of crab and shrimp.

Now, there are many Candy crab. The crab is living in soft coral.
The color is very beautiful.and  very popular in Japan.

And I wanna show you some Elegant squat Robster.

The eye is so cute, isn’t it?
The face is similar to some Japanese Robot character that is called “Robokon”.
Please search for “Robokon” on the Internet.

You must think it is very similar!!!

We can also see many sea slug in this month.
Now, almost sea slug is tiny, but the color is very beautiful.

The color of tentacles is so beautiful, I think.
So, when I could find it, I always introduce it to our guest.

Then, I wanna show you the sea slug that is similar to sheep .

When they are walking, they are usually shaking their tentacles.
This behavior is very cute.

I plan to dive tomorrow, but the swell conditions in the morning will determine whether I dive.

On next weekdays, some coral may be going to be spawning.
I hope the swell become smaller soon.

I will observe the spawning trends of corals and the hatching out of clownfish when sea conditions are good.

If I find out the date of coral spawning, I will show you on our web site and SNS.

If you wanna observe it, Please feel free to let me know.

See you then(^^)/
