I found this picture of me on the net recently. It was taken by Tom Moore before diving the Bills Rocks in Ireland, July of 2009. Roughly eight miles from Purteen Harbour, the Bills Rocks are famous for their spectacular underwater drop offs, crystal clear water and abundant sea life. I remember that weather was changing for the worst, the swell was already quite big. We dived the northern wall as it was more sheltered. Followed the almost vertical wall down to 40 meters and then headed mostly west for the duration of the dive. The water was very clear, the impressive wall covered in anemones was teeming with life. The only worry was avoiding being sucked into the gully visible at the top of the image, where the underwater current was extremely strong. The bumpy ride back to Purteen Harbour seemed to take forever, mainly for being stuck in a cold wetsuit for almost an hour. The Bills is a great dive site and I'm lucky to have dived it!
