Underwater Explorations

Not much in the way of photos from the last few days, but there's been plenty of activity. Sunday was spent up above Colwyn Bay, rock climbing with some students. The views were superb and we could clearly see the Isle of Man on the horizon, behind the wind farms. 


Monday was mostly spent planning and organising various options for our summer expedition season as well as catching up on a whole bunch of admin. But we still managed to time things right for an afternoon of light winds, calm seas and a high tide to dust off the snorkels and go exploring undersea.


This time, with wetsuits on, so we'd last longer (and float better!), we drifted around the bay for just over an hour. There were loads of crabs, a few fish (one of which was really big) all colours of seaweed swaying gently in the tide. We dodged a few jelly fish too and some electric coloured sea goosberries. It was all very tranquil and crystal clear. Nice to have had the conditions and times all align.
