It’s been a while since I updated the blog(/ω＼) The north wind has picked up in Ishigaki.
Yesterday and today we did the advanced open water course♪♪ We only had one student so we could take it slow and go through everything at our own pace☆
Even when we do courses, we still have time to see many different kings of marine life(≧▽≦)
This is a picture from the navigation dive with compass♪♪ After a short struggle with the compass, our student managed the dive＼(^o^)／
We also went out to Manta point, but no mantas there(/ω＼) However, the landscape of the site is really interesting and we had a good time exploring it☆
Lots of healthy corals grow in the shallow areas♪ This place is always so beautiful
A soft coral was growing on the clam, but as the coral is getting bigger and bigger… I wonder if it will be hard for the clam to open it’s shell? (;・∀・)
A stone fish had buried deep into the sand, waiting for it’s pray… or maybe just taking an afternoon nap(;^ω^)
In a deeper part of the reef on a rock was a bunch of Durban dancing shrimps(/・ω・)/ As the name implies, they look like they do a litte dance as they move♪♪
This Leafy scorpionfish sat on top of a rock, not camouflaged at all (;・∀・)
In an Anemone, there were lots of tiny baby Anemone Clownfishes♪♪ However, somewhat less compared to my last dive here (T_T)
We also saw many Nudibranchs＼(^o^)／
Golden Week will start soon! Looking forward to lots of new meetings☆☆
