A massive phytoplankton bloom has scuppered, for the meantime, the usual great vis & ambient light off north Donegal. Divers are getting almost complete darkness on wrecks due to a very dense bloom – on one dive a few days ago a diver could not read his wrist computer on the 6m bar – unbelieveable conditions for here.

Only nature knows when it will clear – just hope sooner rather than later.
