Tonight, four of us went night diving: two guests plus Sakuma and Koide!
Huge thanks for joining us on a weekday!
The sea had been calm since daytime, and lots of nudibranchs were out.
We were able to spot 10 species today!
“Hozuki fushieragai”: a nudibranch that looks like a gummy candy.
“Azuki umiushi” with its beautiful blue rhinophores
A “kawahagi” resting at night, clinging to seaweed
Even when nudged, it stays asleep.
The “amimehagi” is sleeping the same way.
As expected from relatives,
they sleep the same way!
At night, sea urchins and turban shells are actively on the move too.
Be careful not to get pricked, everyone!
The “shimaushinoshita”, often seen on night dives at Ogi.
It's nocturnal, so during the day it sleeps in the sand.
Today was another long dive of over 60 minutes!
We lose track of time down there.
Do keep the toilet in mind, though!
On the way back, we stopped to see the Ogi illuminations.
The quality was amazing.
Thank you for tonight as well!
