We had another fantastic dive with Aquastars on Saturday. Pete took us to the Burnmouth caves - a couple of big sea caves in the side of the cliff about a mile south of the Harbour. This is definately a boat dive unless you are into abseiling. There are two large caves to explore, open to the surface so not an overhead environment, and then we followed the reef around the point. The visibililty on the outer part of the reef was an amazing 12-15m. There was a monster lobster and hundreds of pipefish which I spent most of the dive trying to photograph but still couldn't get any in focus:mad:
Here is a pic of a Lions Mane
(edit) This is actually a Blue Stinging Jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii). A different colour to the Lions mane.
