Greetings from sunny Ishigaki!

We have been enjoying wonderful spring weather – clear sky, warm weather with low humidity 🙂

 

The only negative of the day was the relatively low water visibility.

We tried three different places, but unfortunately, the water wasn’t clear anywhere we go.

 

 

But we met this huge Speckled stingray.

 

We approached it slowly, one by one…

 

… but it didn’t go away…

 

Also encountered this school of Barracudas.

It wasn’t shy, and we were able to come really close!

 

We went to the Manta Point for the second dive, but only found this Green turtle…

 

Not that we don’t like Green turtle, but it probably sensed that we came for someone else (lol)

 

The corals were breathtaking though.

 

And we went to Nagura Bay, for the afternoon dive.

 

This great weather is expected to last for a while.

Let’s enjoy it while we can!
