The stunning kelp forests have been the highlight of my Faroe Islands diving. Dense stands of kelp rise from the seabed, with sunlight filtering through in shimmering beams like an underwater cathedral. These lush forests provide shelter for an array of fascinating marine critters.

Faces from Mykines Island. Seeing puffins up close has been on my bucket list for years, and today I finally got to admire these ridiculously cute wee birds perched on the clifftops. They were every bit as enchanting as I'd imagined.

I spent my final dive in the Shetland Islands admiring the Devonshire cup coral (Caryophyllia smithii). These stunning stony corals are usually solitary and found in cold waters. They use their gorgeous, luminescent tentacles to catch zooplankton and pull them into their unique zig-zag mouths.

The Fraoch Ban was a fishing vessel that capsized and sank in 1978, coming to rest 30 metres beneath the waters between Bressay and North Ness. Today, the remarkably intact wreck is cloaked in dense carpets of anemones, while shimmering shoals of bait fish swirl around it, bringing flashes of colour and life to the otherwise gloomy depths.
