This Sunday we returned to the Atlantic after a prolonged wait for good weather. After making the most of training dives at the sheltered quarry site in Portroe for the last while, Sunday was an overload for the senses, I saw two conger eels, lobsters, dozens of wrasse, a shoal of baby cod and even a curious dogfish that butted into my torch.  Everywhere there was loads to see.  Drift dive with a swim through (no sign of Cathedral Cave) in the middle of the bay in Kilkee was followed by a fantastic dive at Diamond Rocks, that was worth waiting for.

The other highs the day included

Eimhear O’Brien aced her Club Diver test, setting the bar high for the rest of us.

Brian made the day look effortless getting the boat in with Dave Ryan before we got there and out again with Matt and Martin an hour after the rest of us had cleared off home. Its only easy if you know how, and the effort to make our day go smoother is much appreciated.
