They can be seen in a port, so it’s rare to see this at boat diving point.

The water temperature is still warm, but ground temperature is getting lower.
It is better to wear drysuit if you want to dive more comfortable!!

At the morning, we went to the dive point of out of the ocean.
There wasn’t big fishes, but we could see various of macro creatures.

This shrimp is called “Emperor shirimp” in English.
They usually live on the seaslug.
The color of the background is so beautiful. So, many Japanese divers likes this satiation.

At second dives, we met so many Greater Amberjack!!!
The size is huge !!!!
This scene is so exciting !!!!

Others, we sould meet Giant frog fish at last dive.

The size is also big!!!
When we went to the area that we don’t usually go, I could find it!!

I think it is important thing to go to the area that we don’t usually go.

Then, the sea condition will be  calm tomorrow!!!!
I wish we will be able to dive without stress.

Foreigner tourist came to our shop in last weekend.
They come to our shop with the desire to try drysuit diving.

Requests for dry suit diving have been increasing recently.
We hold dry suit diving courses from time to time, so please contact us if you are interested.

Then, I went to diving two times.
At first dive, I could find tiny frog fish.

It is so cute(^^)
The size is less than 1cm. There are so many frog fish such as the same size.

And there are also many sea slug.

 

The sea slug is  trinchesia sp.25.
It is called “Macchibo-mino umiushi” in Japanese.

At second dive, I went to dive to try finding goby.
I could various of gobys, so I was relieved.

The water temperature is still warmer than usual.
So, you can enjoy diving without stress, I guess.

I’m waiting for your inqury.
If you come to Kansai area, I want you to come to Kushimoto to dive.

See you then(^^)/

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.

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.
