So, I can dive without stress for a day.

I teach the guest how to take a natural buoyancy underwater.
Finally, he can be good at taking natural buoyancy well.

When we make a safety stop, he can stay at the same depth without holding line.
I’m happy that he can get adjusting buoyancy skill.

As for underwater creature, we can see various one.

First, we can see puffer.
It is big puffer, the size is 50cm.
It swim slowly, so we can take a picture of it and hang out with it.

Then, small frog fish still stay at the same place.

When it hade in the hole, it is difficult to find.

Others, we can see cute eel.
The mouth is yellow, so it is photogenic.
