Underwater creatures activity have also increased.

I could see seaweed spawning today!!!

Have you ever seen this creatures??

It is tiny one. But its color is so beautiful!!
Recently, it becomes popular in Japanese diver.

Of course, we can see various of sea slugs in Kushimoto area.

This sea slug is rare one.
This sea slug lives in east of Kushimoto, But the number of it is not much in our area.
The color is colorful, so I like it!!!

I have been going night diving a lot lately.
It is so fun because you can see different creatures than you can see during the day.

And we can see closer than the day.
Because many fishes sleep in night.

There are so many jelly fish lately.

Even safety stops are enjoyable here.
I want everyone to go night diving.

The sea is so calm in a golden week term.
We will be able to enjoy diving for golden week, I guess.

It was rainy at morning, but it will be sunny afternoon.
So, it is warm on the ground today. But the water temperature is little bit low.

The water temperature of the bottom area is about 20 degree.
After doing diving for 45 min, I feel little bit cold.

The water temperature is low but underwater creatures are still active now.
There are many baby fishes.

I can see baby eel today.
The size is 5mm. It’s so tiny and cute!!

When getting angry, this eel is shaking neck.
The appearance is so cute.

And I can find tiny shrimp.

The academic name is so long…
It is called “Pliopontonia furtive anemone shrimp” .

The shrimp lives in disk coral. They pinch its coral by their leg.
So, I cannot see anything on the coral.
But, sometimes the shrimps appear from coral.

If you can see it, you’re lucky.

At other area, there are many young damsels.

The number of damsel that usually lives in southern area is getting increase.
This damsel like a warm water. So I can see it in summer season.

At last, I can find boxer crab.

I can find it at the dive point of out of the ocean as usual.
But, I could find it in the bay side area today.

When I find this crab, I feel so happy.

It will be sunny tomorrow.
I hope the water temperature is getting warmer.

I will dive three times in a day tomorrow.
I wonder if I can meet many underwater creatures.

See you then(^^)/
