不安定なコンディション　＠神子元

陸上は真夏の暑さで汗が止まらない一日でしたが、

海の中はまるで春のよう。

白濁りが続き、水温も冷たくなったり暖かくなったりと、

安定しないコンディションが続いています。

それでもやっぱり、神子元の海は楽しい！

色とりどりの魚たちが泳ぎ、ソフトコーラルも美しく揺れていました。

本日出会えた生き物たち
イサキの群れ
タカベの群れ
カンパチの群れ
そして、わずかながらハンマーヘッドにも遭遇！（写真は残念ながら撮れず）

明日こそはもっとクリアな海になりますように！
そしてまた素敵な出会いがありますように！

Another Challenging Day at Mikomoto

While the conditions on land felt like the peak of summer -- hot and sweaty with no relief -- the ocean told a different story.

The sea still had a spring-like feel to it. Despite it being mid-summer, the water remained murky with lingering white haze, and the temperatures kept fluctuating between warm and cold, making for an unstable dive environment.

Still, diving in Mikomoto is always a joy!

There were plenty of fish around, and the soft corals were as beautiful as ever.

Today's underwater encounters included:
Schools of grunt (Isaki)
Schools of yellow-striped scad (Takabe)
Schools of amberjack (Kanpachi)
And we even had a brief encounter with a hammerhead shark!

Unfortunately, we weren't able to capture it on camera this time.
Here's hoping for better ocean conditions tomorrow!
