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(^^)/
