< Attack Lobster on the Manchester Merchant | Fun with Blennies >

Wednesday, August 6. 2025

The spider crab is Ireland’s largest crab and can be found pretty much everywhere.

Here on the wreck of the SS Manchester Merchant, this guy was happy to pose for me amid the twisted metal, the starfish, the blennies, and the pollock. It all ended when I got a little too close, and he shuffled off in annoyance. At least I got the shot first.

Life on this wreck, lying in the middle of Dingle Bay, County Kerry, is nothing short of fabulous. I saw more fish, in both numbers and species, than I have on an entire year’s worth of dives combined!

It was a privilege to dive on the SS Manchester Merchant, and huge thanks go out to the members of the Inbhear Sceine Kerry Sub Aqua Club for organising such a great day out.
