Last dives of 2009! in Okinawa

 Today, we had great last dives in Inanbishi.
Saw some interesting nudibranchs, cuttlefish, and of course, anemonefish.
It’s the time of the year when cuttlefish start mating and lay eggs.

We saw sharks, went through many swim-thrus, and got to the place where Akira found a Japanese Pigmy Seahorse last time he was there.
Yes, he found it again. But last time he saw it, it was white…. is it a different one? or did it change color? Hmmm…
After lunch we enjoyed diving the Red Marker, near our port.
Panda Anemonefish were doing still alright over there.
