Rain is falling and the wind has changed to the north… suddenly winter is coming back to Ishigaki island( ̄◇ ̄;) So we have moved the boat around and departed from Sakieda beach for diving in Calm Osaki and Nagura. It’s been a long time✨ and feels good to be back♪ We saw lots of green sea turtles today🐢🐢🐢🐢
This one was very relaxed and we could take a photo together✨
Corals in nagura bay✨ So many blue-green damselfish swimming🐠
Diver charged on coral energy!!
It looks like a little pice of seaweed or some rubbish… but it’s actually a Pipe-horse! It’s easier to spot the eye in a photo than in real life.
We also saw a bright pink leafy scorpionfish♪ Last year, we saw a small one in the same place so maybe they are the same✨
Below, a bubble coral shrimp♪
We also saw lots of clown anemonefish♪
A round stony coral in the middle of the sand ♪ This coral species grow very, very slowly so it took it many years to get this size!
It looks like we’ll be diving in Osaki and Nagura for a while now! It’s gonna be fun to explore this part of the reefs again✨
