| Turtle at Maeda Point |
Scenic shot of the Cave and cliff area as we swam off Maeda |
A Sea Cucumber feeding. |
|
|
|
| Clown fish with divers. I never have very good luck shooting clownfish, but I do it anyway. |
Chris & Dee (Daryl) came and joined us for my farewell dive. |
A poorly lit Soft Coral. This side of the island was damaged years back and has very little soft coral growth on it. |
|
|
|
| A favorite blue seastar on a ledge. |
Clownfish & damselfish on a corner reef. |
Another blue seastar. |
|
|
|
| Divers over the reef. |
Clownfish, again. |
A large anemone, home to 3 clownfish... all of whom did not appreciate my large dome lens in their home. They're hiding. |
|
|
|
| Heading into the Cave at Maeda. The schools of fish were pretty cool. |
Inside the "cave" headed out. It's not really a cave... but can be used in bad weather to climb out of Maeda if need be. |
A few butterfly fish on the reef. Just a shot to show some structure. |
|
|
|
| Another Clownfish. They are very cute & territorial. |
Japan's version of a "Discover Scuba" outing. I'm not joking. |
A closer shot. "Tourists" are towed through the water by their guide. Still not kidding.... |
|
|
|
| Yes, right up to the chain line which leads to the exit/entrace at the bottom of the Maeda Steps. |
A group shot after our dive. Thanks guys! Wish I had more time to dive.... |
Divers headed into and out of Maeda via the Steps. Crazy. |

Here we go.... Thanks to my felt-soled booties, I did not fall down once. I am invinsible on these reefs now. (: Not. |
