Modem burner - an afternoon at the beach
My son and I got a chance to squeeze a short dive earlier today, it had been longer than I remembered, almost three years since we last dove together, I would have said one or two at most, I suspect that's what time does to all of us. As an unintended result, many more areas to document in the pre-dive papers, especially after fifty, thanks for making me feel old!
Anyway, let's dive straight into it, pun intended with the banner shot, my trusty pam25:
Today's dive was not particularly challenging other than limited visibility and strong currents at time, but things calmed down below 10 meters. Most of the shots were taking in the 8-12m range.
In no particular order....
If you check carefully there is a fish in there:
Crabs playing between the two rocks:
The most common sight was fishes such as the below, I think it may be a black drummer or rock black fish:
A predator lurking in the dark, look for the white teeth:
Because Japan, a boxfish a.k.a fugu:
My son being followed by a rockfish. I suspect many dive instructors must be giving them treats, as they were following us like pets:
Hint, there's a fish hiding in there:
My son with our instructor:
A black seabream going on with its business:
A stone bream bombing my photoshoot:
Today's goal was to find a Japanese bullhead shark, luck was on our side:
Boxfish close-up:
more rockfish:
This shot sums up today's mood, I felt like we were treated to a seaweed buffet:
More rockfish, I told you!
And one final wrist shot for the day, thanks for joining!

Great pictures...
even though the vis was not really in your favour Where did you dive?
Many years ago, while living in Shanghai....
I went to Okinawa JUST to see the Harlequin Shrimp During a night dive, I finally saw a few...
Awesome!
Lots of cool ocean life, the watch looks great! Where were you diving? I only got my open watch certification this past spring. I've got to get back out there while I still remember what I learned!
Same here to be honest
Amazing how quickly you can forget stuff without regular practice, we did a refresher course and our instructor was great. Dive was in Izu south of Tokyo.
After 2 diveless years....
local dive instructors, normally, insist to make the first one, a check-out dive...I've never stayed 2 years without diving but I saw few.....out of practice ones
I feel like fish & chips for lunch now
Rockfish is very common here too, in Southern California waters.
One of these (some 2.5 meters long)
grupers will tie you up for a stretch, on fish and chips ...
Do you like..muck diving? Have you ever done it?
In Japan there is a monumental number of nudibranchs, funny shripms, boxer crabs etc Only caveat, you have to look on the seabed.... Sorry but, before I grew imbarassingly old, I was a "possessed" diver for 40 years Lolllllllllllll
I hope to grow "embarrassingly old" and still remember it all !
Good for you! Congratulations!
My tripping on embarassing and other (few)...
words, started ages ago and it's still there....lollllllllllllllllllllllll
