Hello. I’m sorry that I couldn’t update blog.
Actually , I went to various of dive site. I went to Hokkaido for ice diving and Thailand.

I didn’t much dive in Kushimoto(^^;)

Then, I dived in Kushimoto area for a while.
Kushimoto is a home ground, so I was relived to dive in Kushimoto.

Today, I did macro diving.
There are so many macro creature today!!!

Especially , we can see so many kinds of sea slug in this season.
The size is so tiny(^^;) But the eyes are so cute!!!
I like this sea slug!!

The color of this is so beautiful, isn’t it?? They usually lives in seaweed.
We can usually see this sea slug in spring season.

And this sea slug lives in shells.
They are good at hiding. So It is hard to find out them.

Others, I could see other macro creatures today.

First one is warty frog fish. It’s so cute(^^) The size is about 2cm.

Second one is Shrimp named Phycocaris Simulans.

The number of this shrimp is more than usual year I guess.
I could find them so many times in this year!!!

So, I will dive for searching macro creatures tomorrow as well.
I hope I could see many kinds of cute creatures!!!

I will enjoy diving tomorrow!!

See you then(^^)/
