UPY British Waters Compact - Highly Commended
'Hiding in yellow'
James Lynott
A favourite shore dive of mine is the Falls of Lora, situated at the narrow entrance to Loch Etive, near Oban. Small neap tides allowed us to plan three dives over one weekend in August last year. The hope was to spot and photograph spurdog sharks, they are known to inhabit Loch Etive and have been seen at this site during summer months. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a single spurdog but that didn’t detract from the dives, there is such amazing underwater topography and proliferation of life at this site there was plenty to admire and photograph. While swimming along one of the gullies this edible crab caught my eye as a nice photo opportunity as it seemed to be comfortably nestled into the yellow breadcrumb sponge and hydroids surrounding it.
Judge's comment: Life upon life, upon life. A frame that explodes with colour and showcases the richness of the underwater world.
