Fun Diving in Kushimoto with Guests from 5 Countries!
We were fully booked today!!
For the first time since opening our dive shop, we welcomed guests from five different countries for a day of fun diving!
Divers from the United States, China, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan joined us today, creating a wonderful international atmosphere at Aqua Vista Kushimoto!
We've had especially many international guests visiting us this month.
It seems that more travelers visiting the Nachi area are discovering that they can also enjoy scuba diving in Kushimoto.
We'll keep working hard to introduce more people around the world to the beautiful underwater world of Kushimoto!
Starting the Day with Drysuit Orientation
We started today's diving with a drysuit orientation dive.
Everyone was so good at handling their drysuits and mastered the skills in no time!
Since we finished practicing the skills earlier than expected, we had more time to enjoy fun diving!
Everyone was so comfortable with their drysuits that I almost wondered if they even needed the beach practice!
We explored the area and found various marine creatures.
My favorite discovery was a tiny juvenile Red Lionfish.
It was only about 5 cm long!
Its translucent body and beautiful fins were absolutely stunning. I couldn't resist taking a photo!
From Macro Creatures to Schools of Fish on Our Boat Dives
From our second dive, we headed out for boat diving.
Some of our guests who had spent yesterday looking for tiny marine creatures joined us again today.
So this time, we changed things up a little and included some wide-angle scenery in our dives!
One of the sights that many international guests find impressive is a school of Redlip morwong.
I feel like you don't often see such large groups of these fish outside Japan.
In a way, they might be one of the fish that really make you feel like you're diving in Japan!
Putting Nudibranch Specialty Skills into Practice!
One of our guests who took our Nudibranch Specialty course yesterday showed me a nudibranch they had found all by themselves!
It was a Glossodoris buko, about 2 cm long.
I was so happy to see them already putting what they learned in the course into practice!
Already Looking Forward to Diving Together Again!
One of the guests who visited us this time enjoyed our diving style so much that they even made a reservation for next year before leaving!
I'm truly happy that they enjoyed diving with us so much!
It really means a lot to me.
Moments like this make me even more determined to keep improving our dive shop, so that more guests will want to return to Kushimoto and dive with us again!
Celebrating a Special 100-Dive Milestone!
We also had a guest celebrating their 100th dive today!
Of course, we all celebrated together!
We congratulated them with a Japanese-style 100-dive celebration.
It seemed to make quite an impression!
Another guest even said they would definitely come back for their 200th dive celebration!
It was wonderful to share this Japanese diving tradition with our international guests.
From discovering marine creatures to experiencing Japanese diving culture, we were able to share so many different sides of diving in Japan today!
Come and Enjoy Diving in Kushimoto!
Unfortunately, some of our guests had to cancel their reservations for next Monday through Wednesday due to the flight departure suspension in the United States this morning.
However, this means we now have more flexibility to accommodate your diving requests during those days!
Whether you want to search for nudibranchs or spend more time taking underwater photos, this could be a great opportunity!
Visibility in Kushimoto has also been improving.
We'd love to welcome you for some fun diving or drysuit practice!
Hope to see you underwater soon!
