Diving at Sado Island: August 6: Kitakoura (A Red Seahorse Spotted), photo 1

Hello 🌞

This is Chika from Freeway!

Our idol Yamato was here again today 👍

Photos of Yamato with our guests from all sorts of angles!

I'm glad the wound on its forehead has healed!

Yamato, recognizable by its scar shaped like a crescent moon 👍

Another kobudai (Asian sheepshead wrasse) resting in a gap between the rocks.

Staring into a guest's eyes,

Oh no 💦

Our guest is being eaten by Yamato!

Just kidding 🤣🤣🤣

Shooting fish from various angles is fun!

We also found a teeny baby seahorse 👶

And...

a bright red seahorse!

It was so incredibly red that I think it might be the first one like it I've ever seen!

The day before, it seemed to be a pregnant father, but...

today its belly was flat.

It must have given birth during the night!

I can't wait to find the little seahorses 🥰
