FUTO Diving – Escape to Nature <13.7.2008>

The next day we went to the bay next to Kawana in the south - so called Futo. This also belongs the diving areas of Oasis diving.
It was my first time and I didn’t know what expects me … so I was looking forward to it.
Already from the first sight you can see – Futo is different!
It lies within a quiet bay surrounded by mountains and just a small naturally harbor. You can do beach dives from two sides and also go out by boat to other famous dive sites (Macro-fans)

Our guide during these days was our beloved Hitomi san. She really took all efforts to show us everything possible – and believe it was a lot!

Starting from nudibranches all types (we won’t miss those ;-)


… to a ray which gives 60V electro-shocks


… a little cat shark (really just as small as 20 cm)

… a guitar ray, which was really hard to find

… and finally a grinning moray – I loved that one!
Who said that fishes has no sense of humor ;-)

My personal highlight of the facility is definitely the hot bath in form of 2 ships. You can soak there in 38 deg warm water with a view over the bay and relax after a nice dive …
