Today's blog is a quick peek at yesterday's events

 

 

 

 

Members of the Kyoto University Diving Club

It was the second day of their advanced course.

 

 

The visibility was relatively good

 

 

 

 

They were so skilled that they cleared the tasks effortlessly

 

 

Every moment, they looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves

 

 

Youth!

It makes me feel youthful again, something I'd already forgotten about, lol.

 

 

Ah, like T-Shiro, I wish I could go back to my student days (lol)

 

 

 

 

The ocean conditions were good, so we even went to the manta point

 

 

I was wondering if we'd see any since it's not manta season, but...

 

 

 

 

It was a manta festival!!!

 

 

It seems like six mantas were circling right in front of them

 

 

 

 

Perfect, right?

Everyone was, of course, overjoyed

 

 

 

 

 

This year's mantas seem to be doing a great job

 

 

After the course, they, of course, went for an additional fun dive.

 

 

 

 

To the first topography point of the season.

 

 

The contrast of light is so beautiful

 

 

 

 

 

 

It must have been a wonderful memory

 

 

The Kyoto University group has become an annual tradition.

 

 

 

 

I'm so happy

Next year, if you have any junior members, please introduce them!

 

 

And please share some of that youth with us old guys again, lol.

 

 

That's all for today.

 

 

Nice dive!

 

 

Toru in charge
