Spring clarity… From the surface the water almost looks crystal clear but below it’s full of microscopic plants and animals (plankton). At this time of year with the longer days and warmer temperatures the water becomes full of plankton creating a bloom. Which is important for the many animals and creating the base of the food chain. Close ups of recent dives with pipefish show the variety of tiny shapes which the algal plankton comes in. @othreeltd | @suuntodive | @kubidrygloves | @apeksdiving | @bigbluedivelights | #scubadiving #wales #underwater #scuba

Sea diving seasons started… Nice to get back into the sea for the first couple of dives of the season, some good conditions along the coastline with plenty going on. With spring there’s lots of nesting in the algae and on the sand gobies digging burrows. These being territorial little fish who with defend their patch 🎥 Looking forward for these conditions to remain and see what turns up as the water temperature warms up. @othreeltd | @suuntodive | @apeksdiving | @kubidrygloves | @lumix | @bigblueeurope #scuba #wales #underwater #scubadiving

Kitting up and getting in… The journey starts before getting in the water with plenty of prep especially when it comes to the colder waters with heavier gear along with drysuit and dry gloves to stay extra warm. More important when barely moving whilst filming 🎥 @othreeltd | @kubidrygloves | @suuntodive | @apeksdiving | #scubadive #apeksdiving #wales

Back into the sea for recovery… After a few months of ultra / marathon training along with races it’s time for more of a rest period before the next training block. Which means more focused time under the water and enjoy the calmer conditions along the #Welsh coast either freediving or scuba diving along with maintenance training which is less intense. Lower intensity training and rest being important for recovery, especially before jumping into the next training block. Back into triathlon training for @ironman_uk Wales,which is exciting and challenging to balance the volume required and to enjoy the summer conditions 🙌🏼 ☀️ 📸 @phillboyd_outwest @othreeltd | @kubidrygloves | @apeksdiving | @suunto | @suuntodive | #wales #freediving #snorkelling

Peace amongst the meadow… Take a virtual dive amongst one of the most calming places below the surface off the #Welsh coast - A Seagrass meadow Diving / snorkelling these habitats can reveal lots of hidden species but just sitting and watching what’s going on you also get to see shoals of different fish species from sea bass to sand eels @projectseagrass @suuntodive | @apeksdiving | @othreeltd | @kubidrygloves | #underwater #360vr #seagrass

Calm weather and clear conditions incoming… With more settled weather on the horizon, visibility below the surface will be getting better - hopefully these glassy underwater conditions are here soon 👌🏼 But first, there will be the plankton bloom that will make the water a slightly more green tinge as the microscopic algae fills the water but importantly providing food for many of the creatures. Important part to start the season. @othreeltd | @suuntodive | @apeksdiving | @kubidrygloves | #scuba #underwater #apeksdiving #cymru

2:48:20 Marathon 🤯 The plan: set a PR and give everything at @manchestermarathon Two years since the last road marathon at @londonmarathon , Manchester served as a total shift from recent mountain ultras. While those events provide long times on the routes and elevation, but this was completely different focusing on speed. The crowds and atmosphere provided a well-needed boost, but some seriously deep digging was required toward the end to stay on track and give everything. This ability of digging deep, built over countless hours on ultra routes proved vital in crossing the line minutes ahead of the target—taking 10 minutes off the previous marathon PB. Time for some rest before training begins for the last big event of the year: @ironmanuk Wales 🙌🏼 Big thank you for all the support : @suunto | @unify_bp | @bloceyewear | @feetures | @feetures_uk | @georgiebarge also taking a PB on the roads of Manchester 🙌🏼 #manchestermarathon #running #suunto

Golden hours in the mountains… Whether it’s sunrise or sunsets , these are some of the best times to enjoy the mountains (but never guaranteed with the forever changing conditions) Early mornings in #Eryri over the years have delivered some of the most un forgetting golden sunrises 🙌🏼 @suunto | @unify_bp | @nnormal_official | @feetures_uk | @bloceyewear #yrwyddfa #drone #snowdon #wales

Raja Ampat… Taking it back to a year ago, the opportunity to explore #RajaAmpat off Western Papua New Guinea. Part of the diverse coral triangle and it certainly delivered with some incredible dive sites full of plenty of small species to Whale sharks and oceanic Manta Rays 🎥 @suuntodive | @othreeltd | @apeksdiving | @lumix | @bigblueeurope #scubadivingmag #underwater #suunto apeksdiving

Chianti Ultra Marathon 73km ✅ 73km’s of rolling Tuscan hills accumulating over 3000m of climbing through plenty of vineyards and amazing scenery ⛰️ Where the aid stations really provided the taste of Tuscany. Crossing the line in 9hrs29 @chiantiultratrail is a recommended race to take on for sure. The trip and race day not being possible without the awesome crew and non stop laughs who also really enjoyed the delights of Tuscany 🙌🏼 Big thank you to the support from @suunto | @unify_bp | @nnormal_official | @bloceyewear 📸 @phillboyd_outwest | @shootandrun.cymru Time for a short rest and prep for something slightly different. #utmbworldseries #chianti #trailrunning #suunto

Seagrass awareness month… A month to celebrate this incredible habitat, always so great to spend time amongst the blades. Where the local site at Porthdinllaen remains a favourite location for a calm dip 🤿 For more information about work that’s done on seagrass visit @projectseagrass and you can help better understand seagrass through sharing locations via the #Seagrass Spotter 🌱 @othreeltd | @suuntodive | @lumix | @bigbluedivelights #scuba #wales #underwater
