Thanks to the members of Dundalk SAC for taking a few of us out for a dive last Sunday morning on ‘their turf’.

Both weather and diving were good, we dived a wall just south of No. 9 marker buoy in Carlingford Lough. Although not the best dive this year, it was many times better than the conditions in Dublin Bay the previous week.

Dundalk have a fantastic setup and although they have two great looking boats I still found it hard to believe the two pristine Range Rovers used to tow them were club vehicles! EO, can we get one of them!?!

Many thanks to Les for towing and performing Dry Cox’n for Sunday’s Dive.  Some underwater images have been posted below for your enjoyment.

I joined a visit to the NHC organised by Pat Creegan of Viking SAC on Saturday 14th October for a 50m chamber dive.

Des Quigley of the NHC gave us the full guided tour followed by the dive. If you think sounding like daffy duck after breathing in helium from a balloon is funny, you should hear yourself at 50m with a bit of nitrogen narcosis thrown in for good measure!

Des runs a fantastic facilty and asks only a €10 donation to charity for allowing divers to experience a chamber dive.
