YD Ireland - 2008 Shakedown

[smcmullan]

Trip up to Malin Head to dive wrecks to max 30m on March 1/2?

The theme of the weekend is early season shakedown so NOT doing U861 etc this time around. More like Argo Delos bow and some other shallow wrecks like Iris, Racoon etc. Basically stuff in and around Inishtrahull. No long drives to Culdaff wrecks or Laurentic either.

Its neap tides with slack around midday so thinking about diving a tidal wreck and then a not so-tidal scenic site as a second dive.

Haven't got a definite dive plan just yet but hope folk will be open minded - its early season after all!!

The accomodation will be Geoff Millar's house. The cost is 150euro for 4 dives plus accomodation. One days diving or not taking accomodation will be a portion of that. Air fills and 02 will cost extra.

Excellent.

We're working with www.divenorth.com

Here's the location:

Google Maps

Bear in mind - thats a best guess - I'm not exactly a local and Google Maps haven't quite got around to accurately mapping the laneways of Malin Head

Here's a better map:



If you get lost lets rendevous at Farren's bar

Basically we're leaving from Portmore pier as shown on the map

Can we get fills in between dives, i forgot no twinset !!

[smcmullan]

No problem. We're only doing short runs out to local sites given the time of year and we'll be back in between dives. Geoffs place is only a couple of minutes from the pier and can supply air, o2 etc.

The house has full self catering facilities
