NOTE
ON WINTER DIVING
Diving
in the winter months along the East Coast of Ireland requires
a little more experience than diving during the Summer Months.
The water is colder and visibility can be poor, so a little
more experience is required. Please don't forget about the
wind chill factor during winter diving. It is advisable to
bring along a wind protector, a woolly hat, and some warm
clothing while traveling to and from the dive sites. The wind
chill factor must be taken into account during the winter
months. We will provide you with a warm drink after your dive
to revive your spirit. So don't forget just Dive in Ireland
However,
winter diving can be very rewarding. There is so much life
to see especially in our area of operation Dublin Bay. See
seals in their natural habit, porpoises, crabs, lobsters,
octopus, and from the shark family dogfish, as well as a host
of other amazing plant life. What about a wreak dive. There
are quite a few wrecks in and around Dublin Bay area which
we shall be diving over the winter weather permitting.
