Encounter

When?	You should surely go to the sea at the time of ebb tide. Especially the time of the spring tide is a chance. Since tide pulls greatly, Itﾕs good time to search SeaSlugs. going into the sea is good at this time. In addition, when the sea is rough, You had better not go to the sea..Especially the height of a wave is important. When a wave is high, even if you go to the sea, wave drunkenness cannot be carried out, SeaSlugs cannot be found, or there is no good thing. However, after a typhoon is the chance for a kind which was not seen until now to be seen. Although winter is originally a season, when you do a skin diving ,the warmer season is comfortable and they can be found in large numbers also in summer .Seasonally, it is O.K. during one year. Probably, you understand that the species which can discover even the interval for about two weeks changes a lot. Since the time to appear according to a species is different, let's carry out at various time.
Style	The style of an ordinary skin diving is enough as your equipment. I recommend you wet suit (if itﾕs winter, dry suit) wear as much as possible. Because you may be injured in rocks. Fundamentally, the gears are as follows; 1. mask 2. snorkel 3. Fin (Since you walk in many cases on a rock, the marine boots wear type is better than a full foot type.) 4. glove (Working gloves are also good) 5. wet suit or dry suit.
Property	What is considered as it is better to bring Receptacle for 1. bucket 2. capture(with a cap -- better one and when you have forgotten, with strings can also substitute a film case, so that it may not pass) 3. in addition to this -- stage properties (Although it does not float, it is easy to use the way.) Their clothes are changed and after 4. towel, fresh water, etc. Although it was written as the object for capture, it captures for observing thoroughly. Let's release them in the surely captured place after taking a photograph or observing. Please inquire for itself about a helpful tool.As a hint, I have heard that a tooth brush is helpful.
Method	If you goes to the sea, let's change into wetsuit first. And let's go into the sea with a receptacle. It searches enduringly by the skin diving. Although based also on your physical strength or a surrounding situation, as for me, it is common to go into the sea about at least 30 minutes. Let's look for carefully the place as for which the alga etc. and the rock carried out the overhang. Let's observe it, if you found. They need to capture by careful cautions not to damage, since it is small and is soft. In addition, the difference of experience is just going to come out of the treatment of SeaSlugs very much. It is really good at a nice person. Let's inquire with helpful tool.
Observing	Now, let's see them thoroughly. There are various color, form, motions, etc. If possible, let's return to the sea early after observing.

Such a place is looked for

If their food is known, the place in which they are present is known.
SACOGLOSSA eats green seaweeds etc. Dorididae eats spomges and sea squirts etc. The egg of other SeaSlugs and the species which eats seaslug itself are also.
However, the former is a large majority fundamentally.
Therefore, if you look for sponge, a sea squirt, and a seaweed carefully, it will almost surely be able to be found.

The dive which looks for Seaslugs does not move fundamentally.
Since the time which keeps still at the bottom is long, I recommend you to go underwater by equipment warmer if possible. In addition, I think that Seaslug searching dive becomes the pattern which is almost in a shoal for a long time.
