First of the year!!
Weather: Cloudy, Air temperature: 23°C, Water temperature: 22°C
Hello everyone! This is TAISHIRO☺︎ from S2CLUB Ishigaki Island!
Well then, we're off to sea again today!
Today, like yesterday, the sea conditions were super calm
The wind was from the south, and although the weather was cloudy, it was a warm day!!
On such a day, it's time for a long-distance excursion for the first time in a while!!!!
(Thank you for the photos, Mr. K
)
We went to the coral area that everyone loves♡
By the second day, you're already relaxed
Walking above the coral
This is Ishigaki Island!!!
Then we carefully observed the clownfish...
The anthias festival was also in full swing
They thoroughly enjoyed the jam-packed course!!
Meanwhile, what about the fun diving team?
Off to the sacred Manta Point!!
Will they get their first manta of the year?!
Got it♡
They only saw one, but they were able to observe it closely!!
Glad we didn't strike out for the first time this year
And after that, it was off to see the macro life that's currently in season!!
We went with Mr. K, who arrived in the afternoon!!
The frogfish have grown quite a bit, haha.
They used to be the size of a grain of rice, but now they're the size of a pinky finger.
What a sleepy face lol
Won't your jaw dislocate if you yawn that wide?
I got a little worried
And finally, a nudibranch we observed for the first time!!
Its name is Yaguruma-umiushi (Dendronotus frondosus)!!
I learned something new again, that there are nudibranchs with such thorns
And that's how today finished!!
The sea conditions look good for tomorrow as well!!
Where should we go?
I'll be taking my leave from today's blog here
See you all tomorrow!!
