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(^^)/

In spring season, there are many beautiful seaweed in Kushimoto area.

Sometimes, sea slug is staying near the seaweed.
It is called “Sporochnus dotyi Brostoff”.

It’s so beautiful, so many Japanese diver like it.

I want to show you this seaweed.
It is also beautiful.

In this season, this seaweed is spawning sometimes.
If you want to observe it,  it is better to bring digital camera because it’s tiny.

This seaslug looks like dog or rabbits, doesn’t it?
She has eyes, so the face is so cute(^^)

We will enjoy diving tomorrow as well.
I hope we can observe rare underwater creature.

The number of the guest from overseas is increasing from March.
I’m happy many foreign guest to come our shop.
