We can see many frog fishes in bayside dive point.

You can see different size.
If you like tiny one, you will be able to see 5mm frog fish.

Have you ever seen this shrimp??

It is tiny. the size is about 2mm haha
It is hard to see it with your eyes.
I belive it’s the best to use digital camera to see its details.

In this year, the number of Ghost pipe fish is more than usual.

If you want to see them, you will be able to see 5~7 fishes in a day lol

I cannot research if the number of nudibranchs is getting more, but I guess there are also many nudibranchs.

I have to research for nudibranch as soon as possible.

After this term, the number of guest become fewer than summer.
You can try drysuit diving in your pace. And you can dive in small group.

The water temperature is still 23 degrees.
So, you can dive without feeling cold if you wear drysuit or 5mm wetsuit and inner vest.

I hope you will come to Kushimoto in this term.

They had never dive in Japan, so I showed them Japanese fishes.

Have you ever seen its fish?

The English name is Japanese butterfly fish. And scientific name is Chaetodon nippon.
Its name include Nippon!!!
So, when I dive with the guest who had never dived in Japan, I always show the fish!!

I think the place is the most famous spot in Kushimoto.

Tomato grouper and pigmy sweepers.
I believe this is a typical scene in Kushimoto!!

Today, I talked about the name of this fish.

I guess the english name is Decorated ghost pipe fish. But some guest call it ghost pipe fish.
So, I’m not sure what the correct name is…

At last dive, I can find new rare fish.

The size is 1cm.
The swimming behavior is so cute(^^)

But, The fish take something on her body.
She may be take a disease…

Then, The guest from overseas will come to our shop tomorrow as well.
