July 7, 2014 – It’s Tanabata. Kerama, Chibisi.

Hello everyone.

Today is Tanabata.

Not that I’ve had any romantic encounters because of it, though... haha.

The weather is clear, so I imagine the night sky looks beautiful.

The waters around Okinawa remain perfectly calm.

We had a Kerama introductory dive and a post-arrival fun dive at Chibishi.

First up: the Kerama introductory dive.

Air temp: 32°C | Water temp: 25–28°C | Visibility: 20–30m

Sites: ① Chishi ② Rokuban-misaki ③ Kuroshima North

Although they signed up for an introductory dive, they had actually taken a diving course seven years ago but hadn't dived since then.

So, there were absolutely no issues at all.

We took it slow on the first dive, but once the memories came flooding back, they were swimming comfortably on their own for the second and third dives! ♪

After the third dive, we spotted a manta ray near the surface at Kuroshima—a hot topic lately.

I was able to see it with the naked eye today... but I couldn't capture it on video... What a shame.

After arriving, we headed out for fun dives at Chibishi.

Air temperature: 32°C | Water temperature: 27°C | Visibility: 25–30m

①② Kamiyama Labyrinth

Both visibility and water temperature have improved!

With the sun shining down and great visibility, the unique underwater topography really stood out beautifully.

Tomorrow, we have Kerama fun dives scheduled, followed by Chibishi fun dives in the afternoon.
