[Diving in Nishi-Izu and Tago! ] To a blue world with a transparency of more than 15 meters]
Hello! This is 🌸 Hokule'a Shonan
The other day, I went to the popular diving spot "Tago" in Nishi-Izu!
Tago is a particularly popular area in Nishi-Izu, which is known for its rich nature and dynamic terrain. Access is a little far, but it is still understandable that there are many repeat customers who say, "It's worth going!"
The sea on this day was more than 15 meters transparent!
The moment you enter, you can't help but exclaim, "Wow!" at the beauty of the water.
Just swimming in the clear blue sea with sparkling sunlight was a feeling that soothed my heart.
And the highlight is a flock of snapdragons.
Against the rocky backdrop, countless orange fish dance like a blizzard of flowers in the water.
The water temperature was stable, the seaweed was growing, and the "water landscape only just now" was ✨ spreading
At Hokule'a Shonan, we will guide you to diving spots that are "in season now!" at that time of year and on each day.
Of course, the selection of points according to the request and the polite guide with a small number of people are also popular.

【Hokule'a Shonan|Water Photo Tour📸 Osezaki】
Hello! This is Hokule'a Shonan.
The other day, at the popular Spot "Osezaki" in Nishi-Izu, we Held in 😁 a Water Photo Tour
Speaking of Osezaki, it is a diving Spot where rich Nature spreads out that can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced divers.
The transparency was high on this day as well, making it a perfect shooting day!
What I would like to recommend this time is that when taking photos in water, "dare to take pictures of things that you usually tend to avoid."
For example, seaweed.
In normal diving, seaweed is often avoided as much as possible to create compositions, but by daring to incorporate it, you can 📷 take photos with a different atmosphere than usual
With seaweed in the background, it creates a story in the photo,
It makes the subject stand out more.
By making good use of what is in nature, the range of water photography will Unfolds significantly.
The photographic equipment used is a Tg-7+ ring light.
While it is a compact digital camera that is easy to handle even for beginners,
Authentic photos can be taken depending on the ingenuity of this camera, which is also an attraction 📷
The sea of Osezaki today is truly a treasure trove of photogenics!
Colorful creatures, softly swaying seaweed,
A fantastic scene with light...
Please take your camera and dive in 👀✨
🌸 If it's Hokule'a Shonan,
We will do our best to support those who want to take their time shooting in the water!
✔ I want to take my time and shoot until I'm satisfied.
✔ I would like you to carefully teach me the basic operation of the camera.
✔ I want to enjoy photography without difficulty only in shallow areas.
Such requests are also welcome 😊
"What is a photo tour like?" and "Can I do it?" If you are worried, please feel free to contact us first!
Let's 📸 give shape to your "I want to take a picture!" together
A piece that can only be found in the water world, just for you.
In Hokule'a Shonan, we will bring you a special photo dive experience!

【A must see for divers】The world of the sea expanding in the rescue course and the power to 🛟🌊 protect yourself
When you hear the word "rescue diver," you might 👩 🚒🦸 ♂️ think of a hero who helps someone
But in fact, this course is a very important step 💡💪 in learning the skills not only to help others, but also to protect yourself
I couldn't swim originally.
And the sea was also a little scary place... 😣🌊
Still, I decided to take on the challenge 💥 of "Let's at least get to the rescue!"
When I actually took the course, I learned that the skills of a rescue diver are not only for "just in case", but also for preventing accidents.
Even if you check the equipment with your buddy, it is not just a confirmation, but an important step to do in case of emergency.
I realized 🔍 the importance of staying calm and having a broad perspective even in situations where I tend to panic
By not ending with "learning" and applying what I learned to every dive, I have become 🐠💙 more confident in tackling the sea
In the rescue course, you can 😊🎶 acquire observation and judgment skills to prevent trouble, and how to deal with emergencies
Nature broadens your horizons, and diving itself becomes more interesting!
And through the course, you will deepen 🤝✨ your bond with your reliable colleagues
I strongly felt 💞🌊 that the sense of security in the sea comes from skill and trust
At Hokule'a Shonan, we offer 🌺🏝️ small-group classes that are tailored to each individual
Beginners are also welcome!
Let's 😊🌈 aim together for "not only fun, but also safe diving"
If you are even a little interested in rescue training now, it may be ✨ a sign that you want to be safer and have more fun
That feeling is very important 💖
Your ocean world will Unfolds 🌏🐬 greatly by learning to rescue
