Saltee Scuba Diving!

Last weekend brought the first real taste of summer and Naas SAC took full advantage of it, diving the Saltee Islands off Kilmore Quay.

Mid week Diving

While weather and visibility have not been kind, we are managing to get mid week diving in Dublin Bay. Last evening was our third consecutive mid week dive and it gives us a great opportunity to get dived up and the new members invaluable training and experience.

Diving Easter Bank Holiday 2015 – Oysterhaven

Oysterhaven is a location that NSAC have never visited previously and proved to be an excellent choice for the early season shallow dives.
