Gozo 2015

This was my third visit to the Island of Gozo and the countdown to D-DAY for me started at Day 58 🙂 – so it goes without saying I was looking forward to it!! When the afternoon for travel eventually arrived I was exhausted as there had been quite a lot of negotiating of packing the evening before to meet the 20kg limit requirement. Compromises were made leading to successfully negotiating with Liam to take a 3kg toiletry bag in his luggage […]

Hook Species

One of the most common questions we are asked as divers is “What can you see down there?” Without a doubt one of our favourite shore diving sites is Hook Head which has an abundance of sea life to observe. Along with some of the more common fish such as cod, pollock, ballon and cuckoo wrasse, dog fish and mackerel you can also see species as shown below which were all photographed over a single weekend just under the Hook Light House.

Scubathon 2015 – 24 Hour Scuba Diving

There was a great turn out with divers from Naas, Hook and Kilkenny Sub-Aqua Clubs taking part in what was some great diving and craic. Special thanks to Hook SAC for their now famous hospitality.

Diving Malinbeg, June 2015

Diving Malinbeg the 2015 June bank holiday was something of an uncertainty in the previous week with horrendous weather forecast but having booked accommodation we were travelling and willing to take whatever the prevailing weather allowed. We were therefore pleasantly surprised to get two great dives off Carrigan Head on the Saturday before having to retreat to Malinbeg Bay to dive the stack on the Sunday. It was a relaxing weekends diving and thanks to Paul O’Hare, Aras Ghleann Cholm […]
