Many guest come to our shop in this weekend.
The sea condition is so calm.

So, our guest enjoy diving in a whole day.

Recently, there are many baby fishes in our area.

This is Bluelined angelfish.
When it grow up, the color is changing completely.

The frog fish that I could find yesterday is still in the same place.
The color is so beautiful.

I hope the frogfish is staying at the same place for a long time.

Now, there are many baby jawfish now.
It is so tiny and cute!!

At last, I will show you rare fish.
Have you ever seen it?

The fish is very unique shape.
The name is Short dragonfish.

It is so rare.
But it i good at hiding, so it is so hard to find it quickly.

I will go to out of the ocean at morning tomorrow .
See you then(^^)/

We think the swell is getting bigger than yesterday.
But, it doesn’t  become bigger.

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.
I hope we can also dive tomorrow .

See you then.
