A new typhoon has formed but it will not hit Ishigaki directly this time☆
The wind is blowing from the north, but because it’s still weak we could depart from Kabira without problem♪♪
We weren’t sure if we could go out to Manta point this morning, luckily, we could!(≧▽≦)
And to our delight the Mantas were there!
The visibility was good and the coral reef was lively(*^▽^*) The schools of small fishes hurdled together as the big fishes swam by, then, they spread out again♪♪ It is fascinating to watch♪
This is blenny always looks like its smiling
A young Lionfish♪ It looks like it got caught on some rubbish(;^ω^)
A Spotted coral crab with lots of eggs♪
This is one intimidating looking shrimp♪
And another one☆
I’m a little concerned about the typhoon but happy that the mantas are back circling around the cleaning stations☆
