The south wind is blowing strong over Ishigaki island today, the waves are up even in Kabira! We went out snorkeling and diving✨
We also got to meet a manta ray! It made us wait and only came for a quick visit, but the snorkeling team did get a good look at it^^ The small manta just seemed a bit lonely I thought Σ(‘◉⌓◉’)
Desipte the strong wind, we had a good time both snorkeling and diving✨
Last year, the water temperature was high and many corals bleached but it looks like they are recovering already in some places♪
A green sea turtle♪ It had a good nap squeezed between the rocks on the reef✨
We also saw a big school of mackerel swimming by☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
The leafy scorpionfish was waiting for us in a good photo spot♪
We also saw nudibranch and shrimps♪
The wind should be calmer tomorrow. Looking forward to another day on the ocean!
