Sunny and calm, with cool water! 8 degrees Celcius.

Heading out

After a wild and windy Winter with only occasional diving – at last Spring has arrived and so have the divers! What a great weekend of boat diving and shore diving, with all present enjoying calm seas and good visibility – considering that the most recent storms had only just passed. We dived 4 great sites : Rusheen point, Doonee Beacon, the Julia T and Thany Beg.

Many of the divers also enjoyed our safe, sheltered shore dive – with eel grass beds, a kelpy rocky reef, a shipwreck and a dive tower complete with a resident Lumpsucker!

Lumpsucker, by Ronan Fahy

It is great to see the growing interest in underwater photography and videography, due largely to the new technology in compact action cameras and high quality inexpensive video lights!

We are looking forward to our Photo Rally 15th to 17th April 2016.

We have captured great video footage on our Discover Scubadiving programmes, thanks to the MUVI Cameras that we sell here at Scubadive West. Our partners Extreme Xperts have set us up with all of their great products and some demo units too!

MUVI KNPNG

The K2NPNG camera records in full HD 1080p @60FPS, with up to 3 hours of recording time. It comes complete with it’s own waterproof case, rated to 100m depth!

MUVI waterproof case

The camera is compact and can easily fit in a pocket, or hang from your BCD on a lanyard if you just want to use it casually. (For serious footage at depth, we have great options for adding video lights!) We find it easy to use even with diving gloves on – thanks to the large buttons. The small LCD display on the top of the camera is very informative as it clearly displays whether you are in video or still photo mode, it clearly shows when you are recording, and even has a battery status icons. We love the large, full colour LCD screen on the back of the camera, as you can clearly see what you are recording so you don’t miss any of the action. This screen is detachable, making the camera very versatile for different activities.

Lots of extras included, all in a protective case.

All in price €335
