July 26: Kitakoura (Water Temp Rising! Visibility Up!)

Diving at Sado Island: July 26: Kitakoura (Water Temp Rising! Visibility Up!), photo 1

Good evening!

This is Chika from Freeway

Everyone!

At the shallow dive sites!

Only down to about 10m, but the water temp is up!

A whole 25℃ ☀️🏖

It was 23℃ until yesterday; amazing how it can change in just one day!

So a wetsuit is fine for your suit.

All our staff have switched to wetsuits too.

Sparkling ✨

It feels like we're getting closer to “Sado Blue”!

I hope it keeps getting clearer!

At Nagate, a shallow site, juvenile fish are increasing.

In a photo I happened to take of a himeika (Japanese pygmy squid), by pure chance...

a teeny baby amimehagi (a small filefish)!

Way too hard to photograph 🤣

An amimehagi that's grown a little.

Maybe the sea will soon be full of amimehagi?

The chagara (a small goby) seem to be increasing day by day!

Found the season's first hanatatsu (a seahorse) at Nagate!

Finding a seahorse always makes me really happy.

It was about 5cm and very cute.

Today we had a group of three!

A souvenir photo with Yamato in it too 👍

Right after we descended, Yamato wasn't around, so...

I was thinking we might not see it, when suddenly Yamato was right in front of us! What a surprise 🤣 lol

I'm really glad you got to see Yamato again after so long.

To K, C and Y 🐟

I was so happy to dive with you again this season!

Enjoy your sightseeing tomorrow!

We look forward to seeing you again in autumn.

Grateful for another fun day in the sea! (Staff Koide style) lol

Tomorrow I'm doing trial diving 🤿

I'll do my best so they can enjoy their first dive!

Thank you for today as well 😊
