Kamiyama Island 神山島

Most of the fish I saw were small, but the water clarity and coral were rather nice.

If you click on this picture to open up a larger version of it, you might be able to see the orange Clown Fish hiding in this Sea Anemone.

Looking down at some coral growing on the walls of one of the many channels that lie off of Kamiyama island.

The ocean was filled with jelly fish, but I managed to not get stung. If you look closely you will see that this jellyfish was bioluminescencing (red color at the tip of the jellyfish). 

Coral, starfish, and reef fish.

There is something very humbling about being off of a deserted island all alone in the middle of a coral reef. In this picture the sun was getting lower in the sky, so the reef was starting to get a little darker. The darker shadows in the reef this time of day always play games with my head.
