It’s kind of my jinx that Yonaguni hammers tend to disappear when it’s sunny and warm. I guess the current gets less stable as the ocean is warmed on the surface and stirred with the cold water beneath, etc… Not really sure. I don’t feel the same in Mikomoto, so maybe it’s specific to the current pattern here (?)
気のせいかもですが、与那国はピーカンで晴れるとハンマーの出が悪くなるような気がします。海面が温められて下の水と混ざるから潮が乱れるとか、二枚潮になりやすそうとか、なんとなく理屈をつけられるけど、本当のところはよく分かりません。神子元ではそんな感覚はないんですけどね〜
今までの経験から言って、ある程度流れがある時の方が群れがまとまりやすい。ただ、速すぎると水底に張り付いてしまったり、西崎から逃げちゃったり。潮が緩いときに割と浅いところで見れたりするけど、そういう時は大体バラけてる。

たまに、流れが変わるジャストタイミングでグッとまとまって、ものすごい爆群れになる事がある…けど、正直シーズン中一回見れればラッキーかな。人生、何事もタイミングですね

海底の重力は、女王の登場によって恩寵となる。

写真撮るより文章考えるほうが100倍難しい😂
Diving with friends is the best. I even have a few Homo sapiens friends, quite rare in my list🙎‍♂️
なんだかんだで友達と潜るのが楽しい。ハンマーやタイガーやジンベエたち… ごく稀にヒトの友達とも😂
Another thing I noticed this year.. they are deep! Often 40 meters and deeper, like they used to be. It’s not bad though if you are used to deep dives, as they are usually more relaxed and slow moving down there.
もう一つ今年について言えるのは、ハンマーが深い!もちろん浅いこともあるけど、40m以下の深い時が多いと思います。大きな個体が悠然と水底を群れている様子は、とても与那国らしいとは思いますが。
Hammerheads are bigger and bolder this year I feel. Don’t mean they are aggressive, just more comfortable with me getting close. Young kids forming a school on their own too, kind of unusual without a few adults escorting. It’s like the ocean went back to a few years ago, before the big change in Kuroshio happened.
なんだか今年の与那国ハンマーはデカくて寄りやすい。前に回っても、いつもより嫌がってない感じです。子供だけの群れも多いし、若いもんだけの群れも綺麗にまとまってる事が多い。なんだか黒潮大蛇行前に戻ってきたみたい… やっぱり与那国にも影響あったんだな、と今更実感。
Following the captain’s lead to the sharks, even underwater. Sometimes the boat captain finds the hammerheads with the sonar and signals us during the dive. I would know the direction by where the boat is headed, so immediately go deeper and look for a school that way.. if the visibility allows.
潜る前だけでなく、潜っている最中にも船長がソナーでハンマーを見つけて、近くに来ると教えてくれます。船の向きでなんとなく方向は分かるので、合図があるとすぐに深度を下げて見回します。透明度が悪くて船が見えないと、どーしようもないですが。
ハンマーの群れへアプローチするところを、 さんが撮ってくれました。一番近い個体からは2mほどだと思うんですが、皆んな逃げずに腹を見せてくれていて… 自分が目指す、ハンマーを怖がらせない動きができているようで、なんだかとても嬉しいです☺️ シェアありがとうございました!
Approaching a school of hammerheads, slowly and steadily to avoid surprising them. Easier said than done, at its finest 😂
“Courtship”
A snapshot of courtship dance by Manta rays.. and a diver. It’s a special image for me, as it’s one of few photos I like that’s not of sharks, and it was awarded the grand winner of Japan Underwater Photo Contest 2023🎉 It’s the first time of the contest, but quite a serious one - inviting Japan’s greatest UW photographers as the judges, with the grand prize of ¥500,000! Although, half of that will go to repairing my housing..😂

この度、第一回日本水中フォトコンテストのグランプリに選ばれました🙏 ヨナラ水道のマンタが、ダイバーのそばで求愛ダンスを踊っている様子です。マンタはもちろん、我々ダイバーの海に対する思いや業も含めて、「求愛」と題しました。

錚々たる審査員の方々に評価をいただき、50万円の賞金まで… 授賞式から祝勝会へと、大変思い出深い一日となりました。この経験をきっかけに、更なる精進をしていきたいと思います!

ヨナラに誘ってくれた さん、モデルにさせていただいた さん、ポイントをガイドしてくださった さん、そして授賞式に同伴してくれた さん、撮影やコンテストにてご協力いただいた全ての皆さんに感謝を捧げます🙇‍♂️

2 good news this week: I’m finally back from being down with flu, and even better, my photo was commended at - Underwater Photographer of the Year 2023!🤘
Not bad for the first attempt, with a photo from my neighborhood😁 Hoping to work further on my skills and bring out more of sharks’ beauty for the next round. In their website, you can check other winning images too.. they are all so great!

去年から少し真面目にフォトコンを狙ってみようと思って、ずっと注目していたUPY (Underwater Photographer of the Year)に応募していました。550人近い世界の猛者たちの、6000枚ほどの作品の中で、激戦区のワイド部門で勝ち残れたのは本当に嬉しいです🥹課題も色々見つかったし、次回からはもっと上位入賞を狙っていきたいです。
まずは、ファンダイブのついでに撮っているだけの現状を何とかしなくては… どうしたもんだか🤔
