Hook Head

We’re spoiled having a boat.  On a normal weekend, we step off the quay and it does all the work getting us to someplace interesting and then home again.  This weekend, to get to the dive sites it took a bit more work.  Hook Head was great fun and I learned loads, like

*how heavy all the gear is after a 400metre shuffle across grass, rocks and slippery seaweed.

*Martin does occasionally come up trumps in choosing a dive location, Wexford was great craic.

*If the local club offers you space in their boat, bite their hand off accepting it.

*Baby cuttlefish hovering and sandeels ambushing like arrows everywhere are brilliant to see on a night dive.

*It’s foolish to follow a huge seal into a dead end cave under the lighthouse to try getting it on camera, luckily I got away with it and it just watched us amused while me and Brian quietly and hastily backed out the narrow entrance.  Be prepared to receive a well deserved slagging afterwards.

Here’s the video, thanks for a great weekend.
