Welcome to fireflys.org

This is a mainly pictorial website containing images and short videos of what we have seen while scuba diving, because our interests lie in what we observe underwater a very large proportion of the pictures are of the fishy kind with the odd diver or other item of interest added.

If you are travelling to any of the areas mentioned be sure to check out the links page which highlights places where we have had good experiences and are happy to recommend and indeed to return to ourselves, if you decide to give any of them a try we hope you enjoy your time with them as much as we have.

Most of our diving is done around the S/W coast of Ireland both from boat and shore where the underwater topography varies greatly and includes rocky valleys studded with jewel anemones, golden green forests of kelp, pink maerl coral beds and clean white sand where rays, crabs, scallops etc like to make their home, the aquatic life that lives here is equally varied which can be seen throughout the 'Pictures' section of this site.

Site hosts: Gary and Sarah Carpenter

Finally for the fun of it we have included an emoticons page on which all of the images are produced by us and as such can offer them to visitors of this site, if you are interested in using any of them simply follow the instructions on that page.
