ARARI – In the Miso Soup <20.7.2008>

From Mikomoto (south of Izu) we went on to west coast, where we stayed close to Arari/Koganezaki dive spots at Ugusu (Maruka Ryokan).
We started the day with a beach dive at Kogenazaki – which is picturesque bay also famous to snorklers & sunbathers.


The view was really bad just up to 3-4m so it made it hard to spot anything from a distance. The highlight was a small couple of yellow neon eye blennies.


Next 2 dives we moved to boat dives from Arari, where we had been in May already.

But this time the visibility was terrible – sometimes less than 3m … you felt like swimming in miso soup.

Still we could find some nice moray’s


… a tiny “clear shrimp”

and a huge frog fish of a size of 25cm


Finally I’d like to present the actors:
