Ronnie, delighted me with an invitation for a dive in Portroe on Sunday. So myself, Ronnie and Eimhear all dived there on Sunday. We took the opportunity to get in, down the ladder on the ramp and exit off to the left side, we eased our way down down to the car and Van. I hopped in to the back of the van, (Effects of narcosis@10M??, likely as I was sure I could get a lift for the rest of the dive??)  We then meandered out to the bolders on the far wall and pottered around along that side for course of the 40min dive. We varied dive between 8-15Meters. Ronnie acted as referee for the ultimate challenge..X's & O's with Eimhear across one of the boulders. Great dive with good visibilty with temps varying between 11 & 15degrees.  Alas, the X's&O's rematch at the 3M Stop, where I was referee, did not yield a winner, can't beat a wiley fox like Ronnie.. Hard Luck Eimhear!!!

The 2nd dive with Eimhear and John Dunne from Lough Derg allowed our dive group to do a 360 tour of the Quarry. Lots to see and even the big Winch wheel was spotted on our travels. Great stuff as Eimhear is making strides at working up the dives on the logbook.

Mike & Roger braved the day also to take a tour of the bottom. Hope Roger survived the 5degree bottom temps. I hope the goolies are still in tact....

Hopes of a BBQ were dashed as Chinkey was a no show on the day :-( Anyone who travelled in the expectation of a burger, or a frankfurter smothered in onions and Mustard were in hard luck and had to be content with a bottle of water and a kit kat from the Dive Centre.
