Galway: "The Great YD O'Tour Detour to the Bog!"

[Mark Davies]

Earlier in the year Tim and I had a great weekend diving with Scubadivewest from Galway on the west coast of Ireland. It's a very impressive set-up and it's location guarantees excellent diving whatever the weather.

I was so impressed it's gone on my annual 'must do' list.

So, I'll be organising a trip over there next year. It would probably be a touch more expensive than your average UK mainland trip as we'd have to factor in some additional travel costs for either flights or ferry, but I'd imagine that travel, accommodation and diving could all be had for under £200 in total with a bit of careful forward planning.

Details of the center are here:

And our trip report from earlier this year is here:

Anyone interested?

Ye should consider it alright, viz isnt great at the mo but August is suspose to be better so the viz should be excellent.

What dates you thinking of Mark?


Ian.

[Fiona]

Yep Mark I could be interested for next year. Need to be carefull with dates though my mate in OZ somehow expects me to go to her wedding

[Conor]

Stick me on the list, I'll defineitely go as long as it doesn't fall on one of my Lil C weekends

[Mark Davies]

I've E-mailed them for available dates. If possible would probably try and get a bank holiday weekend so that we can get three day's diving in. Better value for the cost of travel.

As soon as I've got a list of possibles I'll post them and we can work out what suits most.

Bank holiday or not, I'd be more than happy to take a day or two off work for the trip.

Would be tempted to extend it even further and do Cork on either side of it.....hmmm Irish tour?
