I have been searching nudibranchs only recently.
But, I did normal style diving today for a while.

As I went to various of dive site in February, so I didn’t know where the creatures are.
But, I could recover the information where the creatures are.

Now, there is Japanese pigmy seahorse in bay side area.
She is so friendly. So we can take a picture easily.

And I could meet rare situation.
The nudiobranch(Sagaminopteron ornatum) was swimming.

It seems like Clione, dosen’t it??
In spring season, we meet this situation more than other season.

This rock shrimp is the creatures that our guest is most interested in.

It’s small even if the shrimp grow up.
The size is about 5cm. It’s so cute(^^)

At last, I wanna show you this scene.

Did you find out wired point???

Actually,  tiny nudibranch was walking on a face of frogfish haha

I notice that scene when I took a logging with our guest.
I was so surprised!!!!

The water temperature is still 16 degree.
But, Now is the best timing for practicing dry suit diving.

If you wanna experience drysuit diving, Now is the best!!!

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!!
See you then(^^)/

In this season, there are various of underwater creatures as usual.
Recently, the visibility is not good, so we usually enjoy diving with watching macro creatures.

In this season, we can see many young fishes.

This fish is one of popular fish among Japanese diver.
The size is so tiny but it is so cute.

And we can see rare lion fish now.

We can see it once or twice in a year.
But the number of them is more than usual in this year.
I can see it three or four times in this season.

This shrimp as well.
Now the number of them is so many.
The size is 5mm. So it it hard to see it with your eyes.

Baby Ribbon eel is in bay side dive point.
This eel is very rare in Kushimoto area.
But, sometimes this eel is hiding at their hole.

If you can see it, you are so lucky!!

Then, the number of inquiry from overseas is getting more in this season.

Especially , Dry suit diving corse has become popular among overseas diver.

We also offer drysuit training course, so please consider it.

See you then(^^)/
