The sun was out as we departed this morning♪ The ocean was flat and we went for dives in Osaki and Nagura off Ishigaki island☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆ before our first dive in Nagura, we had a very special encounter! A short-finned piolt whale swam just by the boat(≧∇≦)I thought we would get a glimpse of it underwater too but it swam away σ(^_^;) Still, feeling so lucky ♡

This frogfish has gotten quite big, it’s become somewhat of a celebrity around this area so I hope it won’t get scared away by too many divers Σ(゚д゚lll)
