September 24: Ogi (We Hit a School of Inada!), photo 1

Hello!

This is Chika from Freeway!

Today again, I was in charge of fun diving for “Isana,” a dive shop from Nagano Prefecture!

At the first dive, the Sengoku site...

There was a bit of current, and it was cold near the bottom 🥶

Water temp at the bottom: 20℃! 💦

I was surprised when I looked at my dive computer 💦

But...

when we rose a little higher it was 25℃, so I was relieved 👍

Visibility was good too, and we hit a school of inada (young Japanese amberjack)!

I was shooting from a bit of a distance, but our guests had the school right in front of them!

We were lucky 😆😆😆

The second dive was at the Jizo site

Since we were a small team...

instead of the usual Jizo route, we swam through the rocks 👍

Inside a hole in the rocks was a himesemiebi (a small slipper lobster) 🦐

Its round little eyes are so cute!

There were also zarakaimen kakureebi (a sponge shrimp),

a school of kusafugu (grass puffer) in the shallows!

a seahorse,

and a shirayukimodoki (a nudibranch) too.

It was a fun sea 🏖

To everyone on the Isana team 🐠

Thank you for two days that flew by!

I'm glad you enjoyed both macro and wide angle 😊

We look forward to seeing you again!

It made me want to visit Nagano too 👍

Thank you, and we hope you'll come back!
