Good evening, this is Koide from Freeway!

Today we ran all kinds of courses again!

Yabiki, the manager of our Niigata shop, has come over to help out!

• Trial diving: led by Yabiki...

• License course: led by Sakuma

• Fun diving: led by Koide and Tsunoda

We found a hagoromo umiushi (a nudibranch)!

It's a “spring nudibranch” we'd love lots of people to see!

Baby dangouo (a tiny lumpsucker) and baby hoteiuo (smooth lumpsucker) can still be seen. They're tiny creatures, but once you start taking photos you get so absorbed that you lose track of time.

Everyone, please bring your camera and come dive with us!

We look forward to welcoming you to the island!
