Skellig Easter weekend @ Skelligs
Mar 29 – Apr 2 all-day

Expect plenty of good diving in Irelands sunniest county. Treats include the cliffs at Bray Head, Doolus Head, Fish Island and of course the Skelligs! A UNESCO heritage sites a bumpy 40 minutes of shore and made a recent appearance in star wars ! Home to a large seal colony(200) and sea birds(60,000!), and Europes largest Gannet colony. And to add a sugar on top there is a WWII plane in the water just north of the islands. Visibility is reported to always be good and depths go anywhere from 15m to 50m! Fingers crossed for Basking Sharks!

Red Bull Flugtag 2018 @ Dun Laoghaire Harbour
May 20 @ 12:00

We used to say, We can launch where we want, we can dive where we want!!!
Guess we are bringing this to a whole new level now!!!

Our current plan is to build a giant flying Manta Ray, wrapped in plastic debris, the team members, free the Manta before the launch and return the manta back to the ocean!!!

If you want to get involved or think you can help us win this race and get €3,000 for the club, please contact the event organiser (Mehdi).
This would be a great day out for all club members and families.

Saltee Islands June bank holiday @ Saltee Islands
Jun 1 – Jun 4 all-day

What better way to relax after the stress of exams than taking a trip to the Saltee Islands!

The Saltees are 5km south of Kilmore Quay, County Wexford, and are a group of uninhabited islands which host one of the worlds major bird colonies and a breeding ground for grey seals! Being a hiding place for both pirates and rebellion leaders, the Saltees hide as much secrets beneath the water as they do above.

With wrecks such as the SS Lennox, the U104, the Lismore and topographical sites such as the Connigmor and Connigbeg Rocks. What better way to start the summer than to take in the South Easts best diving!
