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.
