The guest from Germany came to our shop.
They had never dive in Japan, so I showed them Japanese fishes.

Have you ever seen its fish?

The English name is Japanese butterfly fish. And scientific name is Chaetodon nippon.
Its name include Nippon!!!
So, when I dive with the guest who had never dived in Japan, I always show the fish!!

I think the place is the most famous spot in Kushimoto.

Tomato grouper and pigmy sweepers.
I believe this is a typical scene in Kushimoto!!

Today, I talked about the name of this fish.

I guess the english name is Decorated ghost pipe fish. But some guest call it ghost pipe fish.
So, I’m not sure what the correct name is…

At last dive, I can find new rare fish.

The size is 1cm.
The swimming behavior is so cute(^^)

But, The fish take something on her body.
She may be take a disease…

Then, The guest from overseas will come to our shop tomorrow as well.
Our shop become more international !!

I will do my best  tomorrow !!!

See you then(^^)/

But we can enjoy diving in a whole days.

The guest who comes from Germany and Australia today.
The number of overseas guest become more and more recently.

I would be happy if the sea of Kushimoto spread to the world.

I received some request that want to see nudis and Japan endemic species.

I showed this nudi at first dive.
They likes it. They said they had never seen it before.

And Today’s guest likes tiny underwater creatures.
So, I showed them tiny nudi.

The size is 2mm lol.
I was glad that they were so enthusiastic about taking photos.

And I also introduced them Japan endemic species.

The English name is Japanese butterfly fish.
I know the English name, but I don’t know the academic name.

The academic name is Chaetodon nippon.

The name include Japan!!! “Nippon” means Japan.
So I guess it is Japan endemic species.
I have to noted the academic name.

Others We saw many kinds of fishes in a day!!
There are so many fishes now.

You can see many kinds of fishes. So, you must enjoy diving in Kushimoto now.
