There was some surge a little bit due to typhhon.
But we can enjoy diving in a whole days.

The guest who comes from Germany and Australia today.
The number of overseas guest become more and more recently.

I would be happy if the sea of Kushimoto spread to the world.

I received some request that want to see nudis and Japan endemic species.

I showed this nudi at first dive.
They likes it. They said they had never seen it before.

And Today’s guest likes tiny underwater creatures.
So, I showed them tiny nudi.

The size is 2mm lol.
I was glad that they were so enthusiastic about taking photos.

And I also introduced them Japan endemic species.

The English name is Japanese butterfly fish.
I know the English name, but I don’t know the academic name.

The academic name is Chaetodon nippon.

The name include Japan!!! “Nippon” means Japan.
So I guess it is Japan endemic species.
I have to noted the academic name.

Others We saw many kinds of fishes in a day!!
There are so many fishes now.

You can see many kinds of fishes. So, you must enjoy diving in Kushimoto now.

See you then(^^)/

It was sunny today!!
In this season, the number of rainy day is more than usual.
So, when it is sunny day we feel so happy.

Water temperature become warmer than yesterday.
It is 21-23 degree.

I hope it is getting more warmer as soon as possible.

Now, we are still able to see many kinds of nudibranchs.

The color of nudibranch is so beautiful!!
I like to search for nudibranchs. If you like nudibranch, it is the best season!!

Some damsel spawn and protect eggs now.

This is the only time you can see the spawning and egg raising scenes.

The number of young fish has increased in recent weeks.

The seasons in the ocean are progressing little by little.

I think we can see many kinds of situations after this time.
I’m looking forward to seeing various of underwater creature’s behavior and scenes.

See you then(^^)/
