Good evening!
This is Chika from Freeway!
With the three day weekend, lots of people have been coming to the island!
Some came from far away, some came back after a year; every day is truly a joy!
And today, the Chika team...
did a slow, careful macro camera dive!
Every photo is lovely; it makes me want to shoot too!
I can't wait for my housing to arrive ☺️
Here are some photos from our guests!
Chika's recommended subject, one macro fans shouldn't miss 🐟
A baby kobudai (Asian sheepshead wrasse)
They're at every dive site, shallow or deep!
I'm pretty happy whenever I find one, but...
there are so many this year that they don't feel rare 💦 lol

Rare in Sado!
And rare at a shallow site (Nagate)!

A common species, but a cute kinubari (a banded goby)
Did you know the number of stripes differs between the Pacific side and the Sea of Japan side?

You took your time, really focusing on one individual as you shot 🥰
Let's have fun tomorrow too!
Oh, that's right!
Another team found a juvenile boxfish (hakofugu)? Or yellow boxfish (minami hakofugu)? at the artificial reef!
I found a juvenile kinchakudai (bluestriped angelfish) at the shipwreck!
Is Sado Island warming? Turning tropical?
I wonder what's going on...

And...
today we had fun during the break too 🤣
Take a close look.
Everyone's faces are white... lol
And only the men have it on their beard area...
We were playing around with sunscreen 🤣
Every day is fun 😆
Thank you, as always!
