Now, the typhoon is coming to Japan.
It’s over the Pacific  Ocean around Philippines, but the swells are starting to reach here.

I hope that the typhoon will have little effect….

In may, many squids are coming to Kushimoto area for spawning.

The size is very big.
And we can see it very close them.

Sometimes, male squids was fighting !!!

And There are beautiful seaweed.

It is called “Kujyakukeyari” in Japanese.
“Kujyaku” means Peacock. Its color looks like Peacock color.
That’s why we called it that.

And I can find rare seaslug.
The color is so psychedelic.

The foreign tourist will come to our shop.
I will do my best tomorrow !!!

See you then(^^)/

Today, I went to dive for taking macro creatures today.

In a first dive, I found psychedelic sea slugs.

It’s very big!!
The size is about 10cm.

There was also a very small sea slugs nearby.

In winter, there are various of shrimps and crabs.

Recently, I often find Orangutan crab.
It looks like Orangutan , doesn’t it?

And I find  shrimp that stayed in beautiful coral .

The polyps is like a flower.
So, many Japanese diver like this situation.

Now, Kushimoto is snowing .
We will not be able to dive in Kushimoto area tomorrow due to high waves.

We will dive in another dive site.
