The highest green flash encounter rate in the world! ?? Experience Diving Chichijima! !!

By the way, do you all know "Green Flash"? It is a phenomenon that appears to glow green for a moment just before the sun sets on the horizon. There is a legend that a lover who sees this phenomenon will be happy for the rest of his life, which is a very rare phenomenon that cannot be seen unless the air is clean and the weather conditions are met. Ahhhhhh! I used to go to Fukui prefecture to shoot a green flash at work, but unfortunately I couldn't see it, and I remember processing it to green with CG. It's not sweet. Since then, I'd be happy if I could see the real thing someday, but I saw an article about Chichijima in Ogasawara, Tokyo, which has the highest green flash encounter rate in the world, so I wanted to go to Chichijima. I have investigated various things, so I will introduce them.

《Chichijima》
Located approximately 1.000 km south of Tokyo, it is the second largest island in the Ogasawara Islands. Surrounded by the beautiful blue sea, the island is rich in nature and has gained attention as it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by 2011 Year. The only regular flight to the Ogasawara Islands is Ogasawara Maru from Tokyo Takeshiba Pier, and it takes 25 hours and 30 minutes to reach Chichijima. It's farther than I expected. What are you going to do? At night, there seems to be a service that turns off the lights inside the ship so that you can easily see the stars, and it seems fun and exciting to travel while looking at the stars. The fare for Ogasawara Maru is as high as 25.620 yen one way! is. Round trip 50, yen more Hmm ... but I want to go.

First of all, whale watching is famous in Chichijima. If you take a whale watching tour by boat, you can get close to the whales at a very close distance. Since multiple tour guides always share information such as points where whales are, the probability of encountering them is quite high. During that time, you can often meet a flock of dolphins, and it is also a spot where you can swim with dolphins in the water. Isn't it great to be able to swim with dolphins! I suddenly wanted to dive, so I looked it up.

There was a picture of a dolphin and I was excited.

Even beginners can safely experience diving after a solid course, and all necessary equipment is a plan with rental. This is one of the long-established diving shops in Chichijima, and we will guide you to a place that suits the needs of all divers, whether you are a person who does not have a PADI license (C card) like me or an advanced person. It seems that they will do it. Can even beginners swim with dolphins? In addition to dolphins, Chichijima is also popular among divers because it can swim with many creatures such as dogtooth tuna (it seems to be bad), manta rays (I want to see it!), And sharks called sand tiger sharks (who have a scary face). It seems like. It seems that the place where tuna is located requires diving experience that is okay without an instructor. I would be happy if I could swim with dolphins for the time being. I want to play with dolphins in the beautiful sea with outstanding transparency so that I can see 20m ahead.

Before I knew it, I was more into dolphins than green flashes, but of course I also want to see green flashes! There are still many things to worry about, such as Hahajima and Minamijima around Chichijima, so I will write about them again.
