Arran Sealife
An ongoing journey to discover what lies beneath the seas around our shores.
November 5 2011 Last dip of the season? A very pleasant afternoon spent snorkelling with the seals down at Kildonan, in brilliant sunshine and the water a balmy 12c. The only problem being the seals here are not used to people in their stretch of water and were quite nervous, keeping well away from me. A mass of bobbing heads keeping their distance. I need to do this more often and hopefully capture some decent images.
There are quite a few new entries on the site from my busy summer's diving. I hope that you enjoy them. Thank you for viewing!
The Isle of Arran nestles in the Firth of Clyde, between the Ayrshire coast and the Kintyre peninsula. The waters of the gulf stream make conditions ideal for a wide variety of sea life.
As you will see from the images in our galleries, we certainly have a surprising variety of creatures living here in Arran's coastal waters.
The Lamlash Bay 'No Take Zone' is now three years established and already there is a marked difference in comparison to the outer areas, where dredgers still devastate all sea bed life in their brutal application.
Please enjoy the pictures as I have, in taking them. You can access them using the galleries menu on the right. If you wish, you can add your comments and ratings to any of the images that you particularly enjoy.
Enjoy your viewing.
