Hello everyone!
Today, we held boat fun dives at both Manza and Kerama.
First up: Manza.
Air temperature: 31°C | Water temperature: 28°C | Visibility: 25m
Dive sites: ① Mini Dream Hole, ② Nakayukui, ③ Cross Line
The first dive was all about the underwater topography.
With great visibility and sunlight streaming down, the conditions were perfect for exploring the terrain.
For the second and third dives, we took a more relaxed approach with some macro diving.
At Nakayukui, we spotted a Eurypegasus draconis (short dragonfish) with its adorable movements.
At Cross Line, we took our time observing the Discordipinna griessingeri (firework goby).
Next up: Kerama fun diving.
The "Manta Festival" is still going strong here, even after the typhoon passed!
Air temp: 31°C | Water temp: 27–28°C | Visibility: 20–30m
① Kuroshima West ② Kamishiro ③ Uchizan Reef
At Kuroshima West, we entered the water hoping to spot mantas feeding.
Since they were busy feeding, they were a bit aloof—which was a shame...
...but they still showed up three or four times!
I really shouldn't complain.
At Kamishiro, we enjoyed the beautiful topography and the contrast between light and shadow.
Finally, at Uchizan Reef, we encountered a manta getting cleaned—moving nice and slow!
We were able to enjoy watching it at a leisurely pace for about 20 minutes.
Man, I really hope this trend continues.
Tomorrow: Kerama fun diving and Kerama introductory diving.
