Hi guys,

Was snorkling in Dingle today and saw hundreds of little transparent jellyfish type things. Most of the ones I saw were about the size and shape of a gooseberry with fine pinky purple tendrils. On closer inspection they looked like they had little ripples going up their sides that seemed to be fluorescing or reflecting the light. Every so often there was a bigger one but the vast majority were this size. The biggest one I saw was about the size and shape of a plum tomato.

I also saw an eel, a disposable glove, two crabs and a used condom so overall a mixed bag.

Sound like Sea Gooseberries and/or comb jellies!
