Here you go then (http://www.students-union.nottingham.ac.uk/%7Esubaqua/documents/trips/2006/scapa.php). Video to follow. Possibly. If it gets past the censors.

Excellent, err, I think, or possibly just mad.
That last photo is especially scarey.

I'm worried now, I had a swollen bottom lip after a few of dives on my last trip to Mull, put it down to cold water but it seems to be a semi-regular thing lately.

The little buggers with the fine tentacles are all over the place. Watch yourself on shot lines- the stingers tend to cling a bit.

Great report Woz.

Probably Lions Mane jellyfish.Nope it's the one with the bluey/purple top that there are alot of. Less powerful sting. Will look it up in my Big Boy's Book of Beasties.

Nah, from my little boy's book of beasties - Google :)

I always thought they were just different colours, like Bloody Henrys
