The guest from Germany came to our shop.
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.
Our shop become more international !!

I will do my best tomorrow !!!

See you then(^^)/

And we can also meet Giant frog fish.
The frog fish lives in same area.She likes Anchor line, I guess.

Recently, the number of tropical fish is more and more.
There is a place that four Platte surgeonfish live in a same coral.

They are so cute!!!

After coming typhoon, fine whether continues. But the swell also continues….
The sea condition is not bad. so we can enjoy diving everyday.

I hope the swell will be gone as soon as possible.

There is sea moth now.
But, I always take a long time to find it.

Maybe this fish and I just don’t get along well.
Some creatures are easy to find, but others, like this fish, are hard to find. This phenomenon may be common among the guide staff.

Water temperature is 24-29 degree.
I think it is high for sea slug, but there still are many sea slugs now.

We can see different kinds of nudibranchs( sea slug) in winter and summer.
It is one of charm of the Kushimoto’s sea.

At last, I will show you this pics.

I like this picture because it is dynamic, I guess.

Then, We will dive three times in a day tomorrow.
I hope the sea condition will be better than today!!!

See you then(^^)/

The typhoon named Shanshan made our shop close for a week…
We cannot dive for a week.

So, we went to research dive today.
I worry if underwater creatures were gone, but almost underwater creatures still stay at the same place.

There wasn’t huge surge for a week, but the situation of underwater was changed a little bit.

However, some goby still live in a same place.

Filament-finned prawn-goby was swimming a lot.
I guess they are so hungry due to typhoon. lol

On the other hands, Black sailfin goby looks exhausted.
They didn’t spread their fin at all.

When it doesn’t spread fin, it look like a branch, doesn’t it?

We also meet a shrimp named “Dasycaris zanzibarica”.
The shrimp is a little bit rare in Kushimoto area.

Others, we were able to meet Japanese pigmy seahorse as well.

This time, the typhoon didn’t seem to have much of an impact underwater.

We will restart diving from tomorrow.
I wonder if we can meet many kinds of underwater creatures tomorrow!!!

Foreigner tourists will come to our shop tomorrow.
I will do my best our guest to have a good time!!!

See you then(^^)/

The number of overseas guest become more and more recently.

I would be happy if the sea of Kushimoto spread to the world.

I received some request that want to see nudis and Japan endemic species.

I showed this nudi at first dive.
They likes it. They said they had never seen it before.

And Today’s guest likes tiny underwater creatures.
So, I showed them tiny nudi.

The size is 2mm lol.
I was glad that they were so enthusiastic about taking photos.

And I also introduced them Japan endemic species.

I know the English name, but I don’t know the academic name.

The water temperature is changing day by day.
Today’s water temperature was 23~28 degree.

Then, We went to dive in the point that located in out of the ocean.
There are so many fishes.

At this morning, we saw so many greater amberjacks.
Sometimes, they attack to silver striped round herring.

Recently, we can saw many kinds of baby fishes.

We were able to see baby Lion fish at the morning.

At second dive, we saw super small crab!!!

The size is 1mm. It was so hard to see it with our eyes lol

At last dive, we saw baby frog fish.

There isn’t many frog fish recently.
So this frog fish is very valuable!!!

I hope the frog fish keep staying at the same place for a long time.

The surge will be bigger and bigger after this time I guess.
We may not be able to dive on Friday due to typhoon effect.

See you then.
