A four day residential course in the biology, identification, photographing and DNA of these intriguing creatures is to be held on Lundy  from Tues. 9th to Sat. 13th June 2026 (note these are new dates). The course is being organised by Robert Irving with Bernard Picton as the lead tutor. It is designed for experienced divers although there will also be two places for non-divers. We shall be hoping to add to the list of 50 or so nudibranchs recorded from Lundy so far. Click here for further details.
