The first storm of spring
Weather: Cloudy Temperature: 22℃ Water Temperature: 24℃
Hi everyone! This is TAISHIRO☺︎ from S2CLUB Ishigaki Island!
Well, we departed again today!
Today... the ocean was extremely rough, reminiscent of the first storm of spring...
Why has the sea been so bad since yesterday?
It can't be helped. We have warriors who will face it head-on.
Today we departed with two teams: the OW team and the fun dive team!
First, let's take a look at the fun diving team!
(Thank you for the photo, Mr. T!)
Sea squirts are surprisingly profound when you photograph them.
Underwater plants and animals can actually be quite interesting to photograph!
I'm thinking of trying to photograph the polyps of sea pens next time, just for the challenge.
The Broadbarred Pipefish has a cute little mouth when photographed up close.
What on earth do you eat with that mouth?
You probably can't eat ramen...
And!!!
The Frogfish was still there!
But you've grown quite a bit.
It's gotten quite large for a macro frogfish.
But you're still cute even when you're big❤︎
And today's highlight is this!!!
A white Frogfish appeared!!!!!
I couldn't see it because I was teaching, but look at this unique coloring!!
Don't disappear while I'm away on business, okay??
I'll go check as soon as I get back.
The OW course is also progressing smoothly despite the rough conditions.
Their buoyancy control is getting better and better than yesterday.
Since we had some extra time, we enjoyed searching for marine life at the artificial reef and observing clownfish♫
And without further ado...
Congratulations on passing your OW course!
Congratulations!!!
The sea conditions weren't great this time, but if you managed the course in today's conditions, you'll be fine! haha
It'll be much easier to dive and a more enjoyable world awaits you in calmer conditions!
We look forward to seeing you again soon for the advanced course!
That's all for today's blog.
See you all tomorrow!!
