SCUBAPRO Days A Great Success

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 09:23:22 +0000

Sometimes everything just goes your way…The weekend past was a perfect example of this, and was excellent timing for our SCUBAPRO Diving Days. Our marquee stood proudly all weekend, unhindered by rain or wind. The sun shone brightly and warmly enough to permit picnics and much sunbathing. Oh, and of course the sea conditions were excellent affording those attending some excellent dives. Lest we forget it, truckloads of gleaming SCUBAPRO UWATEC gear available for FREE in a dive helped too. Scubadive West welcomed more than eighty divers on Saturday, and similar on Sunday, all eager to ‘try before a buy’ of brand new dive gear. SCUBAPRO happily obliged with their latest and greatest equipment. Particularly popular over the weekend were SCUBAPRO’s brand new X Force BCD, the super slick Seawing Nova fins and the always perfect Nova Scotia semi-dry wetsuit. These took up pride of place in the marquee, along with a huge selection of other items. All in attendance had the option to purchase the equipment for a very generous discount off the normal retail price. And, boy was this offer taken up! Many happy divers departed the dive centre on Sunday evening, with their latest equipment safely stowed in the boot. A real festival atmosphere prevailed throughout the weekend, with a busy schedule of boat diving, hot food on site and a massive BBQ on Saturday evening. PADI’s Educational Consultant, Vikki Batten was on hand throughout the weekend to answers all your relevant dive questions, and Sport Diver magazine regaled us with tales of their global dive adventures. Those interested got to find out more about PADI’s newest range of Tec Diving courses in an information forum on Saturday evening. Then took it one step further on Sunday, as Cillian Gray took them for a FREE Discover Tec dive in our cove. All in all, a wonderful weekend was had and we expect it to be a case of ‘same bat time, same bat place’, this time again next year! So here’s to another fantastic SCUBAPRO Diving Days.

Day Trippin’

admin — Sun, 30 May 2010 13:10:20 +0000

Our Adventure Day Trips, with departures from both the dive centre and Cleggan, are proving as popular as ever. Divers travelled to two of Killary Bay’s most westerly sites on Saturday, visiting Llachog Prahan and our very popular, newly discovered site near Crump Island. Despite some residual plankton in the water, divers reported good visibility and an abundance of marine life. Lunch was a picnic on Crump Island, where divers enjoyed a panoramic view of the Renvyle Peninsula and its surrounds.

For the upcoming June Bank Holiday weekend, we will be running Adventure Day Trips both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s Day Trip will depart from Cleggan Pier, and visit High and Friar Island; and Inis Boffin if weather permits it. These dive sites offer good depth, so are a good choice for divers of Advanced Openwater and upwards. Sunday’s Day Trip will depart from Scubadive West, and visit the dive sites around Crump Island, with an island stop for lunch. These Day Trips cost €70, with airfills and gear rental charged at our normal rates. Divers bring two cylinders, and we are happy to provide the second free of charge; all you pay is for an additional air fill.

The long range forecast is looking favourable, so we are looking forward to some nice diving conditions.

Don’t forget our screening of ‘End of the Line’ at the dive centre on Saturday evening (5th June) at 7pm. This moving documentary highlights the very real threats facing our ocean; and specifically that of overfishing. Snacks and drinks will be provided at the screening.

Our Next Dive Safari

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 11:39:35 +0000

Spaces still remain on our next Island Dive Safari, taking place on the weekend of 22 & 23rd May. As always, the beautiful ‘Brazen Hussy’ catamaran will transport divers in luxury to the best dive sites off Inis Turk and Inis Boffin. An over night stay on Inis Turk is included, where Delia Concannon’s wonderful food and hospitality is sure to please. Contact us to book your place.

Those of you keen to undertake some offshore diving but unable to commit to the two full days, can participate in this Safari as a day tripper. This option will be available on both the Saturday and Sunday of the 22 & 23rd May. Cost for a day trip on the ‘Brazen Hussy’ during the weekend of 22/23rd May; including airfills and two dives off Inis Boffin/Inis Turk; is €98. The boat will return to shore each of the two days.
