Web developer and keen scuba diver...
An encounter with Basking Sharks off Malin Head in May 2010. There were about 7 off them. We were returning from two good dives at The wreck of the William Mannell and Devil's Cut. By chance we saw the reflection off one of the fins and went to investigate. Great excitement followed and two of us made it into the water to swim with them
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, and the presence of the young uns, very reminiscint, 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!
A wee swim through the bow of the lochgarry off the east coast of rathlin island. I liked the effect of the tourch light shinning through from above
Richard dropped the shot right beside the boilers, so this was the start of the dive. I think we were all a bit like startled bunnies, there was just so much life around
