View Full Version : Beryl at Finnart
Andy, Alex and I had a great dive at Finnart last night. We were constantly buzzed by Beryl throughout the dive. Alex had never seen a seal underwater before and got quite a fright the first time it happened!
This is the first time I have seen Beryl and she is one big seal! Also saw lots of little shrimpy things, 2 cuttlefish and other stuff.
Normally we head out deeper to find all the dublin bay prawns but there was quite a current running at depth last night so kept to about 22m.
Also met Scuba Doh, who has a fleeting flash of Beryl on video.
Scuba-Doh!

My first time meeting a seal underwater and it's quite a rush. Took me a while to get my breathing rate down and empty my mask after all the laughing.

Awesome dive, definitely up there as one of the best. :thumbup:

Awesome pics of the cuttlefish.:thumbup:
Good to see Beryl on vid, liked the cuttlefish and you got dog fish too - good dive.
Fantastic pics of the cuttlefish Mark.
We've done 3 night dives at Finnart in the last 4 weeks and I have seen between 2 and 4 cuttlefish each time. I'm going to take my video camera next week - hopefully see Beryl too!
let me know when you're going next - maybe join you. Only had 1 dive since September :(
Probably next wednesday night.
nae chance it could be thursday? I got a thing on wednesday ...

Nice shot of the Little Cuttlefish. He/She is showing you that it's pissed off by flashing RED at you. Nice set!
Great pics.:D Beryl is looking good. Hope that i can get back in the water soon.
Excellent stuff. Beryll looks like she has lost weight since I last seen her

Great oics Mark. I second that Shari-B:)

Sorry to hear about the injury Sharon. Hope it's better soon.
I twisted my ankle again a few weeks ago while hill walking - almost had to be carried off the hill! I couldn't dive the next day and was a bit gutted watching everyone else go in. It's feeling a bit stronger now and I've just started running on it again so it's getting better. Hope you get better too. xx
