Spotted this guy during the safety stop after our dive on the Maerl beds at Cushendall. Not the best camera work you will have ever seen but if you watch until closer to the end it gets better

This fellow was seen in the sea grass beds at Waterfoot Bay in Co Antrim during a seasearch survey dive, and apparently he is the most easterly ever recorded in our waters.

Following a very pleasant dive through a hard coral garden, we ended the dive and did our safety stop at this Anenome City were I took the opportuntiy to capture some video of the residents. I particularly like their posturing as they defend their homestead, understandable and very reminiscint of dare I say of the film “Finding Nemo”

A young Oceanic White-tip shark pays us a visit on our safety stop under the boat at Daedalus Reef in the Red Sea during our liveaboard safari on the Blue Peral at the end of November 2008

A school of hammerheads vsited us on a dive at Daedalus Reef in the Red Sea on 29th November 2008

First time I’ve seen one swimming freely or at least first time when I’ve had my camera handy! I mistook this for a conger oops. Thanks for putting me right Richard!

The start of our dive on this downed trawler. Another great wreck found off Glengad Head Culdaff Bay, Co.Donegall this fishing trawler served as an excort vessel in WWI and was converted into a minesweeper for WWII. She was named after a crewman who served onboard the Victory with Lord Nelson at Trafalgar. Ummm, that sounds familiar I think I wrote it on a video i took last year of this wreck, oh well. Anyway , great dive, great conditions, a wee bit of a run but nothing we couldn’t handle, and as a bonus I worked out how to manually adjust my white balance on the camera whilst at 27metres so i am expected some interesting results.
