ゲストはニディとパーシュー、インドから来てくれました。

今日は最近の荒れ気味のコンディションもやっと落ち着き、穏やかな秋晴れの中での一日に。
そして抜群の透明度の中、カメやクマノミ、ミノカサゴ、チンアナゴに綺麗なサンゴにリーフ、白く映える砂地、と、バラエティに富んだ一日になりました。

ニディ、パーシュー、今日はありがとね。

今日は砂辺で体験とファンダイビングをしてきました。
まずは体験ダイビングから。ゲストは東京から来てくれたノアとタクトの2人でした。
2人とも何度か体験ダイビングをしたことがあるらしく、まあ慣れたもの。スイスイと自由にソフトコーラルの群生の上を泳いでました。

そして午後はファンダイビング。ゲストは昨日ライセンスコースを終えて認定されたばかりのエリックが早速やって来てくれました。
もうスキルをやる必要がないので、自由に色々探して、ウツボや小さなエビ、グルクマの群れ、ソフトコーラルの群生、等々、見つけては楽しんでました。

みんな今日はありがとう。
砂辺でのダイビング、楽しんでくれたみたいで良かったです。

ノアとタクト、また来てくれる日を楽しみにしています。その時はライセンス講習かな?

エリック、4日間ホントにありがとう。これからも色んな場所で潜ってダイビングを楽しんでね。そしてまたいつか一緒に潜れたらいいね。

ゲストはエリック。あともう少しだー。

今日も講習してる横ではコブシメやオオウミウマが顔を出してくれ、あたかも講習応援しに来てるかの様。
そんな中、エリックは落ち着いてスキルをこなしていき、中性浮力も結構サマになってきました。

そして、はい、無事認定でーす。
エリック、3日間おつかれさま。ホントに上達したね。
これからは世界中で潜れるわけだから、色んなところで色んなものを見て来て。

今日は本部・ゴリラチョップまでスクーバダイバーコースの2日目を行いに行ってきました。
ゲストはエリック、香港から来てくれました。

今日は外洋はまだ波高3mとか言ってましたが、そこは北風に強いゴリチョ。湖かと言うほど穏やかでした。
水中ではカミソリウオやオオウミウマ、コブシメ、等々、アツい生物もちらほら見かけ、もちろん講習はバッチリとこなし、全て良し!な一日になりました。

エリック、今日はありがとう。
時間の経過とともに水に慣れていくのが目に見えて分かりました。この調子で明日も2ダイブ頑張ろう!
ではではまた明日!

今日はスクーバダイバーコースの初日でした。
昨日とは打って変わってのあいにくの悪天候と強い風でしたが、そこは限定水域と言うことでプールで基本スキルの練習だったので、まあオッケー。

生徒もサクサクッとスキルをこなして、はい、初日終了。明日からの海での講習が楽しみです。後はコンディションが良くなることを祈るばかりです。

ではまた明日ー。

今日はケラマ諸島までファンダイビングに行ってきました。
ゲストはアメリカから来てくれたデーモン。

今日は気持ちのいい秋晴れ。そして同じく気持ちのいい“秋・ダイビング”。

透明度は安定の20mオーバーで、そんな中綺麗なサンゴとそこに群れるスズメダイをはじめとしたカラフルな魚達や、サンゴに隠れるコブシメ、隠れるどころか周りを一切気にせず一心不乱に食事をするカメ(タイマイ)、みんなでワイワイ楽しそうなチンアナゴ、ウミヘビ、ウツボ、クマノミ、等々見て、とてもリラックスした3ダイブになりました。

デーモン、今日はありがとう。
ホントに楽しんでくれたみたいで良かったです。
残りの滞在も楽しんでって、また会える日を楽しみにしてまーす。

ゲストは名古屋から来てくれたメグとヤス君。もうかれこれ何度目かなー?いつもありがとう!

今日はあいにく海が荒れていて、行こうと思っていたポイントの船が欠航してしまい、急遽本部でのビーチダイビングに変更。でも結果、それが大当たり。
何年ぶりかのオオウミウマに、ハナヒゲウツボ、ヤシャハゼとネジリンボウ、どデカいタコ、モンハナシャコ、ゴンズイ玉、等々、激レア生物を含め色々と見れました。
いい写真が撮れてるといいね。

ではまた!
