Updates from weekend :- Scubathon Print E-mail

Thanks to all those who took part and supported events over the weekend. Club started diving about 8.30pm and the dive off Middle Rock on Friday evening capped it all. Visibility was excellent, the congers, loads of lobster were out. In fact, I seen biggest lobster ever residing in Middle rock. Such that he scared his junior buddy out against me. No fear of my presence at all.

On saturdays dives, an unexpected find, was a dive under a shelf in the middle of the bay. Myself and Martin Noonan were buddied and while we were suppose to dive middle Rock, we dropped in to look for a weight pouch at 6M only to move on to drop into a hole with an Arch at about 20M, and then continued to head to middle rock. The dive unveiled a number of caves back and allowed to us see a big Conger, Cod, Pollock and a good few lobster, blenny's a huge crab. Excellent dive.

Then I had the pleasure to dive with Ronnie, as we decided to dive in the same vicinity due the heavy westerly swell and Northely moderately breezes. Joined by Dave and richard, we had a lovely relaxed dive. Lots to see and it allowed us to wrap up Dive Operations for the day in which after the Photo shoot upon return to shore for Rehab.

All retired to the "Skinny" for a few light refreshments and a BBQ. A fitiing end or maybe not for some, Scotts and a few pubs got visited and the Bacardi's were flowing ... A few wolly heads arrived to see boat exit slip on Sunday   :-)

Club resumed normal dive operations on Sunday with a dive on the pinnacle. It is now marked on the GPS for reference. Lovely dive and fortunately dive conditions allowed all to have an enjoyable dive on it. Unfortunately, dive ops ceased after the 1st dive to allow for father's day treats.

 

Anyone fancy Camp and BBQ at Bridges of Ross next Friday evening??  Boat will move to Doolin next week.
