It's been a long time since I scuba dived in the last time. It will be my first over-sea-scuba diving and in fresh water.

久々のスキューバダイビング。始めての海外、しかも淡水。



The price of it was really expensive in Malawi; 1day dive and 1night for $100!! There are no many places in the world for the people to be able to scuba dive in fresh water with full of endemic species, so of cause I did it.

デイダイブ1本とナイトダイブ1本で計$100とマラウイにしては気狂いな値段だけれど、それでもここにしかいない魚を実際に見たくて潜る事にした。


The visibility was about 10m and average depth was about 15m. There were so many fish in the water. I was very impressed.

透明度は10mくらいで水深15m前後の岩場を見る感じだったのだけれど、水中はビックリするくらい魚が多い。やはりこれだけの人の生活を支えるだけはある。


I saw many fish that I've only seen on TV or at an aquarium shop such as the mouth breeding fish, the fish swimming upside down, catfish , fish coming out only in the night etc..

前に書いたマウスブリーダーや、砂場にクレーターのような巣を作る魚、逆さまに泳ぐ魚、ナマズや夜に出てくる気持ち悪い魚等、今までテレビや熱帯魚屋でしか見た事の無い魚が目の前で見れてかなり満足。



I was happy enough for these two dives. However, If the price was cheaper, I preferred to do more. It's okay.

値段がもっと安ければあと数本行きたかったけれど、まぁ満足したから良い。久々のスキューバダイビングだったけれど、昔あれだけ潜っただけあって特に問題無く済んだ。

The Dive Shop was Aqua Africa. It's only one shop in Nkhata Bay, I assumed. This British own shop was neatly fanished, but their service was neither good nor bad.

ダイブショップはNkhata Bayにあるアクアアフリカ。イギリス人オーナーの小綺麗なショップ。何か業務的にこなす所があまり好きでは無かったけれど、可もなく不可もなくといったショップだった。
