Then, We went to dive in the point that located in out of the ocean.
There are so many fishes.

At this morning, we saw so many greater amberjacks.
Sometimes, they attack to silver striped round herring.

Recently, we can saw many kinds of baby fishes.

We were able to see baby Lion fish at the morning.

At second dive, we saw super small crab!!!

The size is 1mm. It was so hard to see it with our eyes lol

At last dive, we saw baby frog fish.

There isn’t many frog fish recently.
So this frog fish is very valuable!!!

I hope the frog fish keep staying at the same place for a long time.

The surge will be bigger and bigger after this time I guess.
We may not be able to dive on Friday due to typhoon effect.

See you then.
