| Summary | We were not supposed to be able to go abroad yet. It seemed I could put up with cold water by my 5mm-wet suit, since the water rose around 25℃ in late April. So I planed to go to the Iriomote Island, though the same destination as last time.. I booked the Unarizaki: dive center, and Hotel ILMARE same as usual. |
||
| Itenerary | Four nights and five days, three days diving. Departed in the early morning in the Kansai Airport. Arriving in the Isigaki Airport after half an hour delay. Heading to the Ishigaki Port by bus and the Uehara Port by ferry. |
||
| Iriomote Island | I was able to check in Hotel ILMARE about 1PM, officially 2PM though. I was walking around there, there were a lot of pineapple fields and flowers as spring in this time. |

| Watching fireflies | After the second day of diving, watching the Yaeyama Firefies tour was
held. It was very small as a grain of rice, blinking just a moment. I tried all what I could: increasing ISO and overexposure. But these weren't taken. |
||
| Back to home | Frim the Uehara Port to the Ishigaki Port by ferry. Fortunatelly I was
in time for the 8:30 bus. So I arrived the Ishigaki Airport around 9AM, however the Peach Aviation was ofen delayed these days. |
