October 25: Kitakoura (Baby Kobudai Are So Cute)

October 25: Kitakoura (Baby Kobudai Are So Cute), photo 1

Hello!

This is Chika from Freeway!

Today we dove at Kitakoura again!

Some guests hadn't dived in a while, but they enjoyed it!

Maybe because the water temperature was high this year, there are still baby kobudai (Asian sheepshead wrasse)!

They're so cute!

The peekaboo nijiginpo (a fang blenny) are still guarding their eggs, too!

And there are so many amimehagi (a small filefish)!

Instead of a close up, I tried shooting from a little farther back!

The weather was nice, so we took a group photo!

So cool against the blue sky!

It's all macro photos, but…

wide angle is still a lot of fun too!

At the top of Akaiwa, the schools of nenbutsudai (half-lined cardinalfish) are really amazing!

Now that it's autumn, come to Sado Island, where you can dive in small groups!

We'd love to see you!

Thank you for reading to the end…

Thank you so much!

The fish life and visibility are good, but more and more people are switching from wetsuits to drysuits.

We recommend bringing a windbreaker to put on during breaks and a thermos (with a warm drink).
