Mikurajima
On the boat
See it carefully, one dolphin is there
5 am @ Miyakejima
On 5 September 2009, I went to Mikurajima to do my research. Mikurajima (御蔵島) is a volcanic island in the Izu Archipelago. Mikurajima lies south of Tokyo and south-east of the Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka prefecture. Unfortunately, because of typhoon that will come in the next few days, I need to move to another island called Miyakejima right after swimming. I wish I could stay longer in Mikurajima actually. It was really nice to see wild dolphins. And it was amazing to swim with them. Because of typhoon, that day, the wind was so strong and the wave was really high. The water transparency was not very good either, so I was thinking that I might not be able to see dolphins today. I dived into the water three times and the first two times I could not see any of them because the water was not clear so if they didn't come so close it was impossible to see. Fortunately, in the third dive, six of them swam passing me, it was amazing to saw them that close, I was trying to swim follow them actually, but I was too slow. However, I planned to go there again soon and I hope next time it will be even more fun. :)
