And I find  shrimp that stayed in beautiful coral .

The polyps is like a flower.
So, many Japanese diver like this situation.

Now, Kushimoto is snowing .
We will not be able to dive in Kushimoto area tomorrow due to high waves.

So, I went to dive for searching underwater.

The w.temp is 18 degree and the visibility is 15m.

The visibility is good but I look for macro creatures.

In winter, the number of Japapig is  usually increasing.

It is 5mm.
When I look for other sea slugs, It suddenly appears!!!

Usually, its size is about 1cm.

Recently, This sea slug is getting more.
It is called “Pikachu” in Japanese.

Don’t you think it is similar to Pikachu-Pokemon??

Also, we can observe it in winter.

Most Japanese diver call it “Pink-chan”.
The face is so cute!!!

But it is hard to observe it with eyes, so if you want to observe its details, you should use camera.

Tomorrow is weekend, I will search for various of sea slug in a whole day!!!

I wonder if I will be able to find many sea slugs tomorrow.

See you then(^^)/

A winter season is easier to meet than summer season.

Recently, the number of days when the sea is rough is increasing .
It is an annual trend that the number of days when the sea gets rough increases in winter.

When the sea is rough, we usually change the dive point that is calm.
The point of name is Uchiura-beach.

We went to there yesterday, but we can dive in Kushimoto today.

In the morning, we can see many fishes at the same place.
For examples,  Damzels, Snappers, Banded boar fish, Greater amberjack and so on.

the greater amberjack we met is very big!!!
The size is about 1m~1.5m, I think!!

When I find it, I was so surprised!!!

At second dive, I looked forward macro creatures.

I can meet baby box fish.It’s so cute(^^)

At the end of second dives, I can find tiny sea slug.

Now, the number of sea slug is increasing !!
We can enjoy searching sea slugs now.

By the way, it will be rainy day tomorrow, but the sea will be calm.
On the other hands, the sea will be rough day after tomorrow….

I think I will not be able to dive in our dive site on 18th…
I hope the whether forecast will change for the better.

It was heavy rain yesterday but Today is sunny day.
So, we can enjoy diving!!

I go to diving  for observing goby and sea slug today.

In the first dive, we looked for some goby that lives with shrimps.

This goby is very shy, so when you get closer to them, you have to move slowly as much as you can.

As for sea slugs, we can find rare sea slugs.
Can you notice where the sea slug is?

The sea slug is good at hiding.
I’m so happy when I find out this.

By the way, this is the hidden sea slug in the picture.

Second one is this.

The eyes is very cute(^^)
It’s tiny.  The size is 2mm.

I like this form.

I didn’t write blog for a long time.

I think I showed you macro creatures recently.

So, I will show you schools of fishes today.

In this year, the number of White-caudal chromis is more than usual.
The color is yellow, so it’s so beautiful!!

When you make a safety stop, you can see this situation in sunny day.

It looks like aurora. Don’t you think so?
