I dived with American guest in last night and today.
He likes Nudibranchs and macro creatures.

So, I try to find various of macro creatures, especially nudibranch.
There still are many nudibranchs in Kushimoto area.

At last night, we can see Japanese pigmy sea horse.
It is so rare!! So, I’m so happy to find it at night diving.

At night, some nudi become active.
So, it is easier to find them.

We can see so many nudibranchs for two days!!!!

We could see many kinds of Nudibranchs.
Now, the number of Tambja Nudi is increasing.

The size is so small!!
It is better to use camera to see this nudibranchs.

And there also are two frog fish in a bay side dive area.

 

Can you find frog fish in this pic??
The frog fish is good at hiding. So, I have to search where the frog fish are.

I had good time for two days.
I wonder if he could have good  dive in our shop.

Other overseas guest will come to our shop tomorrow.
I will do my best to increase the number of overseas tourists who come to our shop.

See you then(^^)/

The sea is getting calm today.
The surge become less than yesterday.
So, we can dive easier than yesterday.

At first dive, we can meet rare frog fish again!!

I had met this frog fish a week ago.
So, I guess the frog fish had already gone anywhere.
But, she is still in the same place.

Also, other frog fish is sitll staying at the same place.

I think these place is the best for this frog fish to live.
She is good at hiding!!

The shrimp hide in this pic.
Can you find it??
The shrimp is live in the loop coral!!

The situation is so nice, isn’t it??

At last dive, we can also see the spawning behavior of Big fin reef squid.

But, I want to show you this squid.
It is different from big fin reef squid.
It is so cute!!!

There are so many baby squid.

Then, It will be windy and rainy day tomorrow .
We may not be able to dive in Kushimoto area tomorrow….

The condition of the sea is keeping good conditions while “Golden Week”.
I hope the condition is keeping good in this term.

Today, I looked for macro creatures as the main theme.

I can find beautiful situation.
The shrimp stay on the starfish.

Don’t you think that color is beautiful, do you?

There are still many “Pikachu” recently.
It seems like Pokemon Pikachu. So, we call it “Pikachu”.

At second dive, I was look for cute crab.
The crab usually have a sponge on the back.

She is good at hiding. So, it is difficult to find it.
If she find out you’re there, the crab is shaking her body.
Its behavior is so cute.

This frog is tiny and cute.
The size is about 1cm.  The white area is my finger.
I think you can see the size.

The sea condition look good tomorrow.
I hope I can enjoy diving as much as today.

See you then(^^)/
