The rain was pouring down this morning, and I was worried about the diving conditions. But, by the time we departed, the rain had cleared and the weather was excellent for diving around Ishigaki Island🏝️ Despite the sudden rain, the dive sites were barely affected. ✨ We had a great time diving in the Osaki & Nagura area. 🤿

Some sea turtles were relaxing on the reef and some were merrily swimming around. We had a fun time watching them✨

To brown banded pipefish mating✨Their bodies turn bright red!

A young anemonefish✨

We swam between the corals and felt recharged by their beauty💪

The squat shrimps usually stay on the side of the anemone but this one was sitting on it✨

Many people dislike snakes, but they are gentle, curious creatures with beautiful patterns♪

Tomorrow… the forecast is strong north wind and the cold will return ⛄️
