After Osezaki, I finally got to visit Ita after a long time!
I thought the Hondawara seaweed season might be ending, but it seems the water temperature is high this year, and the seaweed was beautiful!
Not just the seaweed, but the number of Neon damselfish was incredible!
I was lucky to have the sun shining too!
I was thinking to go there not too early but after seeing 's post about the Red belted Anthias spawning, I thought, "I want to see that too!"
So, I rushed over early in the morning!
The sheer number of Red belted Anthias was amazing, and it was fun to take wide-angle shots of the males tightly clustered together.
I also got to play around with macro photography, learning various tips!
I tried photographing a Balloon worm using my snoot, and the Ornate Ghost Pipefish hiding among the beautiful soft corals was so cute!
And then, near the caisson, was that a Square-spot fairy basslet!?
It might be my first time seeing one in Izu!!
It really reminded me how interesting the Ita ocean is.
I want to visit much, much more often!
To everyone at Ita Diving Center and all the guests, thank you for being so friendly!
I'll be back again soon!!!
大瀬崎の後は久しぶりに井田の海にお邪魔してきました!
もうホンダワラは時期的に終盤かな!?
と思ってたけど、今年は水温が高いようで海藻が美しかったですよー!
海藻もそうですが、ソラスズメダイの数がすごい事に!
太陽も入ってくれてラッキーでした!
最初はゆっくり行こうかなと思ってたけど、 のアカオビハナダイの産卵の投稿を見てたら「俺も見てみたい!」と思い、急遽早朝からお邪魔させて頂きました!
アカオビハナダイの数がすごくてオスがギュッと固まってる姿もワイドで撮影するのが楽しかったですね〜
マクロも色々教えて頂いて遊んでみました!
のスヌートを使ってフウセンゴカイを撮影してみたり、美しいソフトコーラルの間に隠れていたニシキフウライウオも可愛かったな〜
ほんで、ケイソンのところにいたのがスミレナガハナダイ!?
伊豆で初めて見たかも!!
改めて井田の海の面白みを感じました〜
もっともっと通いたいな〜
井田ダイビングセンターの皆様、ゲストの皆様も仲良くしてくれてありがとう!
また来ます!!!
