The flat ocean spread out wide and glittering around Ishigaki island today A little bit of wind in the afternoon but otherwise completely calm and sunny
The conditions all seemed perfect and we went looking for the manta rays with high expectations! Sadly, they didn’t show up (T-T)
But the visibility was great and it was cool and refreshing to be underwater

Explored some swim-throughs on the second dive♪ This place is truly magical when the sun shines

Coral reefs are amazing too but there is a special thrill when swimming between the rocks〜☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

And we did see plenty of beautiful corals too♪

Tooks some photos together with the sea goldies♪

Below, a ornate ghost pipefishCute and shy♪

And so are these tiny squat shrimps (๑>◡<๑)

We’ll give the manta rays another go tomorrow! Looking forward to diving
