Let's submerge...

Something a bit different today. Andy Ferrier does lots of diving for scallops and other shellfish in the waters around Port Askaig and has started taking his camera down on dives, with some great results. We've not had much (if any?!) underwater photography sent to us before, so it's doubly nice to see. If you can't get to the Natural History Centre in Port Charlotte to see our fabulous marine tanks, make do with these...

Here's a Cushion star


And a Dogfish, posing for the camera. Andy commented on how tame these were 


And neither myself or Andy know what these tube-like things are, but it's a great picture. Any ideas?



Lots more to come over the next few days, including a pretty cool swimming scallop. Thanks Andy!
