Diver's Notes

East side of Ireland's Eye. Loads of jellyfish at the surface. Most of them were Common Jellyfish (Aurelia aurita), but there were a few Lion's Mane Jellyfish (Cyanea capillata). One of the divers was stung in a face.
Otherwise very interesting dive. Observed couple of spider crabs, which were never seen before. Nice topology going down until 16m, after that sandy bottom begins and there;s nothing to see.
Very short dive, because we dived as a group of 3 and one buddy got lost. Very bad visibility - 2mtr at most.
