Gigantic!!


Today we went to explore the dive sites.
The condition was actually pretty good in the morning, but it was supposed to get nasty in the afternoon so we needed hurry.


And we had nice encounters with the big and small, huge and tiny creatures.

My buddy in the cave.


Boxer crab.


Today's highlight.
A giant napoleon wrasse. I heard she had been spotted there once in a while but it was my first time. Adrenalin pumping!!


Santa Claus Pigmy Seahorse.
Sorry it is not in focus but she is possibly super rare here in Japan.


The season for the nudie branch.



She was laying eggs.





We really had great dives. Hope we have a chance to take the guests there.

Bye now.


Wouldn't you like to see a school of Hammerhead sharks?

How would you feel if you face the big underwater ruin which has been there for possibly thousands of years?

今日は調査ダイビングに行ってきました。
朝は抜群のコンディションでしたが、午後から風がまわり強くなるとのことだったので、急いで2ダイブしてきました。

そして数々の素晴らしい出会いが。
キンチャクガニ,珍しいサンタの様なピグミーシーホース、たくさんのウミウシ、そして特大のナポレオンフィッシュが出た時はカメラを構えながら興奮が止まりませんでした。

お客さんを連れてく機会があったらいいなー、と思いました。

ではでは。
