Today, we had a group of 6, trying our PADI Discover Scuba Diving program, and some certified divers.
Starting off the day at the Kuroshima South, we saw some turtles and sharks just immediately, not expected.
It was a big shark – not like the white tip reef sharks napping under rocks, that big one was swimming around under our boat.
The turtle we saw was a tiny shy one, it swam away very quickly.
We moved to Zamami and Tokashi, to enjoy beautiful reef dives at Ariga and macro dives at Toma.
It was all good dives in the sun.

CPR Training

Naoki and Akira went to have a CPR training at the Fire Department of Kadena.
We are certified to teach various courses such as Emergency First Response Course (PADI EFR), Rescue Diver Course, and CPR Courses.
However, ‘luckily’, we don’t have a chance to actually use those skills in the real live situations.
This is why we reglarly visit our local Fire Department to brush up our skills and to hear stories from their work.

The one on the left is a tiny crab having a bag-pack trip with a sea squirt on his back.
Can you recognize the crab underneath?

Here is another one – a sponge crab.
This is again, a tiny crab having a sea sponge on his back.
Those crabs are about 1cm big.
Akira has very good eyes, don’t you think so?

Whales and good dives in the Keramas! (Okinawa)

Today, we saw three huge whales swimming with our boat for a bit.
The type of whales we commonly see here in Okinawa, is ‘Humpback Whales’. You can see their bent back on the picture!
I think that the three we saw today were two males fighting to get one female. They were huge – even from far away, we could here their blowing.
Anyway, after enjoying whale watching, we headed to our favorite dive sites in the Kerama Islands.

Whale Shark Dives in Okinawa!

Akira took this girl from mainland Japan, for her third time Whale Shark Diving.
The visibility was great, and they were the only divers on the boat, that enabled them to swim with whale sharks as much as they want.
She got some nice pictures of them too!

Afternoon Dives at Inanbishi (Okinawa)

We went out in the afternoon with three divers who arrived Okinawa today.
The picture is a type of sea squirts, we always find here.
We call it Ultra Man Sea Squirts.
Because they look like Ultra Man – if you don’t know what it is, that’s Japanese kids’s hero.
