So yet another Snorkelling expedition was arranged, and this time, with the extra option to dive in Dromore lake. There was quite a breeze which drove a chop across the surface of the water. The universal comment from all concerned was that it was "friggin colder than last week". The dry suit people were getting abuse from all quarters.. :-)
12 people braved the cold waters and logged an open water snorkel. Well done to all, it was tough, cold, especially getting to grip with the choppy conditions and snorkels filling up with water :-(
Well done to those who also snorkel dived. Then for those hardy/foolish enough, the hardened vetererns followed up the snorkel with a dive. Visibility was good, compared to trying to dive in Killaloo, that is.. Watching small insects, seeing a number of "caves" built into the mesh of the weed/grass like vegetation, thinking, what sort of creature could do that?? Fresh Water mussel shells, remains of old trees. The dive/snorkel tested ones fitness and endurance. Nothing like the pool work to accelerate the preparation for it.
Well Done and hopefully all is looking good for hitting the Open Water Sea dive next week. So fill the bottles and fingers crossed, diving iat Doctors Rock, Kilkee next Sunday :-)
