We could hear the rumbling of thunder as we departed Ishigaki this morning. They sky was dark However, as we came up from the first dive the dark clouds had gone and the sea was very calm

The manta rays greeted us from the very start of the dive at manta point We saw four of them and they swam very close♪♪♪



For the afternoon dive we explored the landscape in Arakawa

Also spotted small crabs and shrimps on the dives. Below, an orangutang crab

And this anemone partner shrimp

And a magnificent Tomoberthella martensi

Looks like… more rain tomorrow
