Rye Pier - Giant Spider Crabs - April 2024

Decided to do an early Sunday morning pier dive at Rye.

A pleasant surprise - the annual Giant Spider Crab gathering has started early this year!
Thousands of giant spider crabs -  and many more yet to arrive!

Even found a couple fighting over breakfast - a squid! (04:48)

Water temp - 18 deg (slowly cooling!) depth 5 metres, dive time 40 mins.

Shot on a GoPro11 and a Mavic Mini 3 Pro.
Enjoy in 4K!
Thanks for watching.
