February 8: Mushizaki (We Dive Even at −3°C Air Temp, lol)

Sado yesterday:

normally,

“No way, not today…”

is what you'd think, right?

…We went diving anyway (lol)

And today, just like yesterday,

we went on a nudibranch hunting dive.

There aren't many yet,

and every one that turns up is super tiny.

They're so small you could easily miss them,

but the cuteness the moment you spot one is something special.

The winter sea is harsh,

but in return, there's the joy of searching slowly and carefully.

The nudibranchs will gradually increase from here,

and I'm looking forward to what's coming.

Nudibranchs we saw

① Sumizome mino umiushi ② Kozakura mino umiushi ③ Akaera mino umiushi ④ Emura mino umiushi ⑤ Eda umiushi ⑥ Mitsuirameri umiushi ⑦ Inaba mino umiushi ⑧ Ao umiushi ⑨ Kuroheri amefurashi ⑩ Tono ibara umiushi, and more
