The rain fell heavily over Ishigaki island this morning(;´･ω･)
The wind blew from south, not ideal conditions for diving around Sakieda ((+_+)) So we went to the south side of Nagura bay to find some shelter☆ Once underwater everything was calm and relaxed again(≧▽≦)
This was another day with many fun encounters＼(^o^)／
Below, a juvenile Batfish♪♪
We also saw lots of Lionfishes♪
And this baby Crocodilefish♪
There are lots of Banded pipefishes in Nagura now♪
A tiny Octopus had hidden itself in a hole. It changed colors in a spectacular way, it made it easy to spot(;・∀・)
A Glass goby with bloodshot eyes♪
Today, we also met five Giant cuttlefishes♪♪ They’ve been hanging out in the same place mating for a long time. Lately, every dive there I keep thinking it will be the last time we see them there for this year(;^ω^)
A little Squatshrimp shaking its tiny tail☆
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Bubble coral shrimp♪ This one was all by itself(;´･ω･)
Of course, we also saw Nudibranchs♪ This one was very, very tiny(^O^)
A Nudibranch with vivid blue lines♪
And a flatworm with similar coloring☆
Looking forward to diving in a bit calmer conditions tomorrow(;^ω^)
