Diving at Sado Island: August 2: Kitakoura, photo 1

Today the sea turned a much deeper blue,

and there were even more fish around. The sea is finally starting to feel like summer!

This time we were with a guest who loves kokeginpo (a small blenny), so we found so many that you could call it a “kokeginpo party!”, and our guest enjoyed observing them closely.

On top of that, a common octopus had begun laying eggs, and we witnessed a mysterious scene of life being passed on.

At the artificial reef, we also saw a koshodai (crescent sweetlips), a fish rarely seen around Sado. It was two days packed with highlights.

This time we also had a reunion with a guest we hadn't seen in two and a half years, which made us very happy.

Even after a long time apart, you go right back to the usual atmosphere once you're underwater. That's one of the joys of diving.

(I was told, “You've lost weight. You look beautiful.” ...and I'm delighted. Haha)

Leading up to the Obon holidays, we're expecting many guests we haven't seen in a while.

Also, over these three days, everyone from “Crescent,” a dive shop in Ibaraki Prefecture, came to Sado on a tour.

Thank you so much for joining us on a Sado tour again this year!

All of our staff look forward to seeing you again in the sea of Sado.

We look forward to welcoming you!
