Scheduled dates are set for this year!
Thank you very much for your continued support of our shop.
From April to July 2026, we will be offering a Tide Pool Barred-chin blenny Photography Tour.
This year, the tour will be held on specific dates based on the tide schedule.
Welcome to the tide pool world with a depth of only 50 cm.
Although it is a harsh environment, many small marine creatures live there.
Tide pools reveal a unique landscape that cannot usually be seen during regular diving.
This special field does not require scuba tanks, and observation and photography are done with snorkeling only.
Hidden quietly in the tide pool where sunlight shines through, you may find the small blenny.
If conditions are right, you might even be able to photograph the blenny surrounded by rainbow-colored light.
Because the available time depends on the tide level, the tour will be offered on limited dates only.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
