    So the last weekend i was off diving i was expecting 30m vis... but i got maybed 10m.

    10m can suck my ass... i'm not driving 4 hours to go diving in 10m vis! The reason was that alledgedly there was a planton bloom occuring... and those little buggers were juts reproducing like crazy.

    Anyway, is this happening all over the country at themoment? Its been 2 weeks since i was away and i'm wondering where it will be safe to go back in the water?

    I belive he was diving off malin head, this is what happens when you are off on holidays and get spoiled there with great viz.

    There is at the moment a big plantom bloom in norway also, with reports of 2m viz.

    Here on the westcoast the viz is just under 10m, not too bad for unspoilt divers :cool:

    Hi Guys!

    No sign of bloom here with 18m+ viz last weekend!!! Lots of comb jellies in the top 3m though!

    Water fantastic even for snorkelling. Had fantsatic dive at Harvey's Rocks around from Horn Head last weekend, 18m Viz and possible one of the best dive sites for lfe here. very rare to get weather and water calm enough to do it though.....


    Happy Diving from the land of good viz :p;)

    Ka:-)
