Diving in Ireland

Sorry, I'll pass - I prefer blue water to 'green', and a bit warmer.

Learned to dive in NI and did a few dives in the south. As you say a great dive location especially if you like wrecks.

Most of my diving was on the Antrim coast, with some on the Co Down coast and a couple of trips to the south.

I did two dives out of Burtonport the week before last. The divng there was very good. Earlier in that week I also had little dive in Bantry bay. I wish I could have spent more time diving in Ireland and I will go back.

I'd love to dive in Ireland. National Geographic had an article a while ago on underwater Ireland that was just amazing. But given how strict airlines have gotten on baggage limits, I can't imagine trying to travel with my dive gear and drysuit (and not have to wear the same outfit topside for the entire trip!)
