🌊 OUT NOW: Beneath Irish Seas by Nigel Motyer

This is a stunning photographic showcase of the beauty and biodiversity of Ireland’s coastal waters, featuring an array of magnificent flora and fauna, including majestic basking shark gatherings in the Atlantic depths, swirling shoals off the Skelligs and breathtaking coral reefs 🪸
