Greetings from the westernmost point of Japan!


At the end of February, we went to Yonaguni island, the westernmost point of Japan, and had an absolute blast over 5 days. Here is a quick review of the trip.

We were lucky enough to see lots of hammerhead sharks. We encountered with a school of 50, 50, 30, etc... They are such gentle and peaceful giants.



Irizaki area, where the hammerheads are hanging around.


Getting ready to look for hammerheads.




It's a blue water dive.




One of our guest completed her 100th dive during the trip! What a way to celebrate!



And another attraction in diving in Yonaguni is "Iseki", the underwater ruin.


It is still controversial if it's a man-made structure or naturally made.







Either way, guests are super happy to dive there.


And fun continues after dives.


Numbers of mouth-watering food. Super!!





We explored the island.


Yonaguni indigenous horses.



And the post diving party.



What a trip.
Thanks everyone for joining us for our annual Yonaguni trip.
Again, we had so much fun together both underwater and on land.
We will go back to Yonaguni every winter so please join us in 2021!

2週間ほど前になりますが、日本最西端の孤島・与那国島に、恒例のハンマーヘッドシャーク&海底遺跡ツアーに行って来ました。
今年はサメは当たり年で、50匹の群れx2、30匹の群れ、単体チラホラ、と何度もハンマーに会えました。
そして遺跡もじっくりと潜ることができ、相変わらずのその存在感に圧倒されました。

ダイビング以外にも、島内一周ツアーに出かけたり、夜は夜で毎晩賑やかに騒ぎ・語り合い、最高の5日間になりました。
あー、もう戻りたい。早く来年が来ないかなー。与那国最高!!!

参加してくれた皆んなありがとう。また会おうねー。
