In the guest request section: "It's bliss to be surrounded by a school of small fish."
Sandy BIG Point = Crystal Park =
If you've been told it's bliss, there's no way you can't go! Okay! Let's go! Miyakojima is lined with many geological features, but there are also soothing spots with beautiful sand dotted with roots and lots of small fish!
There are two types of fish that mainly gather in schools at Crystal Park. They differ in color, size, and schooling patterns, and the species attached to the roots are different, so that's another fun thing to do.

Also, when you encounter a series of dynamic topography, the feeling of relaxation at this sandy spot is incredible. And if the water is extremely clear, the feeling of relaxation is doubled!! And that's it!
On average, you can see this many golden-striped dolphins! Their aura is more than just soothing; it's almost powerful. If you count them, there must be hundreds! The sight of them coiling up and swimming around in a school was impressive.
The golden-spotted fish just spins around in circles, giving the impression of something really big and flowing. What's more, it changes shape as it swims, so it looks like one big living thing (Swimmy!). And that's not all, on the Okinawan remote island of Miyakojima! It's just amazing! So, here it is!!

Thousands? Maybe tens of thousands? I'm not sure, but this is something big!
The density of schools of the cardinalfish decreases as they grow older, but at this time of year they are the perfect size. Yes, the smaller they are, the higher the density! It's rare to find one big enough to completely hide a root! Let's move to a bigger root! This is a sight to behold, so GOOD!
The seemingly unlikely combination of a powerful and soothing spot created a chemical reaction that left me with the feeling of reaching a new level. Wow, I felt great that my request had been perfectly fulfilled! Just as I was thinking this, on the next dive, I unexpectedly spotted a manta ray.
...The manta ray took it all. Ding. But it's better to have a big surprise like that! Congratulations! I wanted to see it too! (←I didn't see it
So, the lively holidays are coming to an end!
I wonder what kind of drama awaits us tomorrow!
See you tomorrow!
