Not So Tiny Planet Skellig. Skellig Michael rising from the Atlantic, 12 km off the coast of Kerry. From the dive boat below to the cliffs on the horizon, this place is as awe-inspiring above the water as it is beneath the waves. #SkelligMichael #TinyPlanet #WildAtlanticWay

Fifty Thousand Dead. Two weeks ago, dead fish began appearing in the River Blackwater, Ireland. Today, two weeks later, it's estimated that 40–50 thousand have died, and investigations have ruled out natural causes. #RiverBlackwater #WaterPollution #FishKill #SaveOurRivers

Accidental Helping Hand. Instead of capturing what I had planned, the camera focused on the inside of the dome. I could have claimed I’d planned it from the start, but really, I could never have pulled it off without an accidental helping hand. #scuba #diving #abstract

Lough Derg. If you ever find yourself with a spare couple of hours in Killaloe or Ballina, it’s worth the effort to walk the Tountinna Loop and enjoy the incredible view from the Ballina Hilltop Lookout of Lough Derg. #aerial #dji #drone #loughderg #killaloe #ballina

Eyes on Sunset. A sunset on beautiful Rossnowlagh beach is always a wonderful experience. Whether a solitary personal moment, or shared. This time not all eyes on sunset were mine. #aerial #dji #drone #flyby #goldenhour #rossnowlagh #sunset

Size Does Matter. You’d be a little unsettled too if you had a claw that massive to wield in your defense. I suppose size really does matter. #puffinisland #scuba #diving #kerry #underwater #lobster #claw #ireland #crustacean #homarusgammarus #CuasGorm

Playtime on Little Skellig. A playful greeting from a grey seal welcomed us as we arrived at our Little Skellig dive site, an experience that stood in sharp contrast to the grim events of 1809, when the full-rigged ship Lady Nelson was wrecked here. #skelligs #seals #greyseal

Below Puffin Island. It was just John and me today, the last dive of an unforgettable Portmagee weekend. With the ocean calm and flat, we decided to head across to Puffin Island. #puffinisland #scuba #diving #kerry #underwater #sidemount #CuasGorm

Last Gasp. As I headed upstream from Lover’s Leap toward the River Blackwater Beach, I noticed a change. There were fewer lifeless fish on the riverbed now, and the first signs of the living, dying, and desperate. #fishkill #blackwater #mallow #freshwater #browntrout #ireland

Death on the Blackwater. Today, I slipped into the waters of the River Blackwater. What I saw distressed me, hundreds of dead brown trout. #fish #fishkill #blackwater #mallow #munster #freshwater #grief #death #browntrout #ireland

More Fun with Blennies. If you really want to see fish behaviour, pick a spot, really any spot will do, settle down, relax and wait. It will not take long, perhaps a couple of minutes or two, but the fish will come to you. #blennies #diving #fishbehavior #scuba #wreckdiving

Fun with Blennies. I first noticed the blennies as I nestled down amid the wreckage, one, then two, then three, then four, as the blennies came out to play. #ireland #kerry #scuba #diving #manchestermerchant #blennies #critters #cheeky #wreckdiving #fishbehavior

Spider on Board. Here on the wreck of the SS Manchester Merchant, this guy was happy to pose for me amid the twisted metal, the starfish, the blennies, and the pollock. #Scuba #diving #ireland #kerry #manchestermerchant #shipwreck #spidercrabs #crabs #claws #wildlife #crustacean

Attack Lobster on the Manchester Merchant. Suddenly and without warning, bang! Two massive claws lunged out at me. I’m sure I heard chitin on glass as lobster and camera briefly sparred for territory. #Scuba #diving #ireland #kerry #lobster #homarusgammarus #claws #wildlife

Diving Beyond Colour. We were deep, very deep, perhaps 35 metres down or more. A brooding grey sky above meant that very little light had made its way to us here. Colour had been left behind, languishing in the surface shallows. #Scuba #diving #portmagee #deep #monochrome

Entry Stage Left. As I break the surface at the end of another amazing dive beneath the waters of Bray Head I’m comforted by the sight of the approaching boat with a competent coxswain at the helm. #Scuba #diving #portmagee #ireland #kerrysubaqua #boating #ocean #rib #boats

The Poor Crustacean Cousin. Here in Ireland, this beautiful creature is mostly ignored by the fishing industry in favour of the much sought-after European lobster (Homarus gammarus). #crayfish #critters #diving #europeanspinylobster #scuba #diving #spinylobster #underwater

Blue, Black & Green. The River Blackwater just above the Mallow railway bridge offered a safe place to learn about staying safe in a river and now look forward to discovering more of the green, in the black, beneath the blue. #Ireland #mallow #blackwater #river #bridges

Remembering Summer. Under a brooding sky and a glowing horizon, Adelaide beachgoers soaked in an unseasonably warm, balmy mid-autumn evening. Meanwhile, in the chill of an Adelaide winter, our friends and family are left remembering summer. #henleybeach #adelaide #sunset #beach

My Happy Place. It had been far too long since I last soaked up the briny magic off the coast of Kerry. Even after surfacing, I was in no hurry to leave the water — lingering to capture a few final images and be at peace in my happy place. #scuba #diving #kerry #boating #ocean
