I can't post the photos here but I am delighted to say a giant Octopus I found, a Seven-arm Octopus (Haliphron atlanticus) on a beach in North Sligo will be going on display in the natural history museum. See a picture here: Click here (Twitter)

Yes, this article is a little old but would you agree? Have you been to any of the spots mentioned?

The northwest has become very well-known for surfing and kayaking but what about shore diving and snorkelling? Where have you been out lately that you would safely recommend to others?

I know that might sound strange but I am looking to start a conversation about what people are using and where in the country. For surface snorkeling, I would use between a 5 - 7.5mm suit depending on the time of year. Yes hard to submerge but I wouldn't be that pushed about breaking the surface that much.
