And Jaw fish protect his eggs in his mouth.
The situations are seen in this term.

But, he don’t usually protect it in his mouth. So, it is difficult to see.

Others, there are a various of macro creatures in Bayside area.
You can see many kinds of situation on this season in Kushimoto!!

I think now season is good for diving in Japan!!

Hello.
There are heavy wind in Kushimoto today.

But, water temperature is getting warm.
Today’s w.temp is 21 degree.

As the w.temp has risen, the activity of the fish has also become active.
We can observe their eggs.

For examples, Lobster is protecting their eggs in their stomach .

Damsel spawn their eggs in a shell. And father fish protect eggs until the eggs hatch.

Recently, the number of Nudi is increasing. I can find this Nudi today.

The Nudi is rare spices. I’m so happy I can find it!!!!

If you like to take a underwater  pics, I recommend you to take this situation .

The situation is unique, isn’t it?

The tsunami came to japan yesterday.
But we don’t take any damages.

We cannot dive yesterday because of tsunami, but we can dive today.

I met Stingray in the point named Sanbira.
When the stingray noticed that it was found, he rolled up the sand and ran away while hiding himself.

It’s so interesting !!

I cannot write  this blog recently … I’m so sorry I didn’t write the blog regularly .

A strong westerly wind has continued since last night.
So, the wave are getting higher.
For that reason, we can go to Sumisaki area in the morning but we cannot go to the area again.

We have been diving  in “Sanbira” where the waves are hard to rise for next dive.

There are many kinds of corals. So, the view is so wonderful!!
And there are many butterfly fish in the corals.

If you go to deeper area in this point, you may be able to meet “Gymnura japonica”.
We could meet it today!!

It is difficult to find this ray because it hides in the sand.
When we search this ray, we also meet small Red Lionfish.

The fins is so beautiful!! So, I like this fish.
How about you?

In addition, there were many kinds of creatures such as shrimp and Nudibranch in “Sanbira”.

I wanna take a movie in this point with using GoPro.
I think I can take a movie of coral reef and fishes that seems like southern ocean.
When I finish taking movie, I update it at Youtube.
If you want, please watch it.

Forecast said the sea condition will be  getting better tomorrow.
So I think you will be able to  enjoy diving more in Kushimoto!!
