2026 Time to Wake Up
Weather: Cloudy Temperature: 27℃ Water temperature: 26℃
Hi everyone! This is TAISHIRO☺︎ from Ishigaki Island store!
Well, we set sail again today!
Today, I went with these three gentlemen
Today, the forecast was for a north wind,
but it felt like a southeast wind?
So, we went diving mainly in the outer reef area
Before that, since it was their first dive of 2026, we warmed up at this inner reef spot...
This is a unique coral area!!
SHO spent the day looking for interesting things lol
First, since we came to the north, he wanted to see this coral,
so he thoroughly enjoyed it
It seems he was well prepared for his first dive lol
And something was stuck between the corals...
When I peeked in...
Found it! ♡
It was a southern boxfish playing hide-and-seek
After that, it was off to the outer reef!
First, the creatures unique to deep water!!!
This is a Wrasse, the queen of the deep sea
This erotic body pattern really attracts underwater photographers lol
Meanwhile, SHO apparently went a bit deeper and was playing with a jawfish!!
...What's with those lips?
If I made that face at SHO, he'd probably beat me up lol
After that, we off-gassed in the shallow coral area...
I really think the coral here is perfect...
Everyone was deeply moved by this scenery
Lastly, we headed to the nudibranch paparazzi and specialty area!!
First, the classic Mizore, and
Somehow, I saw it for the first time!!
It's a Konpeitou Umiushi (candy nudibranch)!
This unique body...
If it turns purple, it would be like Gengar from Pokémon.
We guided our first dive of 2026 with full power from day one!!
It was super fun today
Tomorrow, it looks like it will be a strong north wind...
Let's take it easy and relax!!
That's all for today's blog.
See you all tomorrow!!
In charge: TAISHIRO☺︎
