Diver's Notes

Boat dive with Oceandivers to the Muglins in Dalkey. Very choppy on the surface but was a great dive. My buddy Brian had a camera and took photos of various sea creatures, dog fish, shrimp, baby congar eel, lobster and sea trout.
At the end of the dive a large swell had come up and it made it very interesting trying to get back into the Rib.
