Hi, there!!
I cannot update blog for a long time. I’m so sorry(~~;)

Now there are various of underwater creatures in our dive site.
For examples, sea slugs, sea turtle, a school of fishes and so on.

And the number of baby fishes in getting increasing recently.

It is so small and so cute!!
IN autumn season is the best to see baby fishes.

Also, the number of sea slug is getting more.

The color of them is very beautiful.So, it is fun to see them!!
It is hard to find them that’s why the sea slugs are tiny now(^^;)
But, when I can find them I feel so happy!!!

At last dive, we can meet sea turtle that is so friendly.

She don’t run away at all.
So, we can observe it and take a pics of turtles.

In this season, you can enjoy diving with your pace.
So, I recommend you to come to Kushimoto in this season!!

Seeyou then(^^)/
