The flat ocean spread out wide and glittering around Ishigaki island today✨ A little bit of wind in the afternoon but otherwise completely calm and sunny☀️ The conditions all seemed perfect and we went looking for the manta rays with high expectations! Sadly, they didn’t show up (T-T)
But the visibility was great and it was cool and refreshing to be underwater✨
Explored some swim-throughs on the second dive♪ This place is truly magical when the sun shines✨
Coral reefs are amazing too but there is a special thrill when swimming between the rocks〜☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
And we did see plenty of beautiful corals too♪
Tooks some photos together with the sea goldies♪
Below, a ornate ghost pipefish✨Cute and shy♪
And so are these tiny squat shrimps (๑>◡<๑)
We’ll give the manta rays another go tomorrow! Looking forward to diving
