From Portroe Jun 24, 2011

After hearing the tales of Last nights trip to Portroe, I kept thinking of that line from a song, " where's me jumpa(Jumper), where's me jumpa... Dancing at the Disco, bumper to bumper" .. Etc.

Poor Eamonn.. After devising a plan to get diving arranged for Portroe on Thursday, alas, it all backfired, his BCD mysteriously did not make it to his jeep and the cries went out... Anyone got a spare BCD! Alas Poor Eamonn, no dive after all!!

Talk about the last minute hick up's.. Teresa's Reg decided it was sick of Portroe but, that minor free flow was copped before departure to Portroe, so fortunately my spare reg made it to Portroe via Mike to sort her out for a dive.

As for Martin, well, Stuck dump valves on the his  BCD caused havoc and the hunt for Bill and Mike turned out to be an incredible story of hit & miss or was that hide & seek ....hee hee... Me thinks a slagging is coming Martins way hee hee... Leading Diver grades are up for anything :-D

Meanwhile Dave and Miriam really had a cracking dive relishing in the light that was penetrating the water and the trip along the far wall of Portroe - 42 mins of a dive, told Ya, Miriam, really getting into this diving lark afterall.  Thanks Dave for leading the way.

Well, as for David and Kieron, yet another opportunity to practice - Lessons learned I hope on every dive?? , all we need now is to see them log some sea dives and get the benefit of some of the beauty of Irish Sealife and vegetation here on the West Coast of Ireland :-)

Meanwhile Kilkee is the Dive location for Sunday, while myself and my buddy Emm -check out diving on the UC42 Sumarine and the Santos wreeck in advance of an Organized Club outing very soon. Planning long Nitrox dives on them to get a look look around them.
