Beneath the crashing waves and jagged cliffs of Ireland’s coastline lies a world few have ever seen, teeming with kaleidoscopic colour and untold beauty. Through the lens of internationally acclaimed underwater photographer Nigel Motyer – whose work has graced the pages of National Geographic – this stunning visual journey reveals the vibrancy of Irish waters, alive with astonishing biodiversity and compelling natural drama.
Motyer, diving and photographing Irish waters since the 1980s, shares an unmatched portfolio built over decades. Beneath Irish Seas explores Ireland’s coastal waters and the habitats that make them unique, unveiling the extraordinary marine life that thrives around our shores.
