Grey Trigger Fish, Balistes carolinensis 

The Grey Triggerfish is a warm-water species, with a normal range in the Tropical Atlantic and Mediterranean, however, in late summer they are often sighted along our South and West coasts. On Saturday morning our Discover Scubadiving students met face to face with one of these beautiful creatures. I guess September / October is their favourite time for exploring the west coast too!

Drifters!

11 Thrill seekers were whisked along in great visibility, on the ever popular Streamstown Drift Dive. The conditions were so good that all present eagerly hopped in for a second run.
