We at ADVENTURE DIVING have an intimate knowledge of, and access to, a wide range of shore and off-shore dive sites. These provide both excellent scenic and interesting wreck diving. We can also facilitate SPECIALITY DIVING (eg : nitrox; close circuit; drift diving etc.)

SCENIC : There are many dramatic "drop-offs" and "wall" diving opportunities. You can see close up an abundant marine life, including, for example, cod, pollock, whiting, dogfish, conger eel, lobster, and even the occasional seal. From a human point of view, there are no predators. As for plant life, there are luxuriant kelp forests and various species of sponges to be examined.

WRECKS : Over the years, the rocky Irish coast and stormy winter weather have claimed many vessels. Their wrecks today provide fascinating dives, at depths which suit both beginners and more experienced divers. To whet your appetite, here are the outline details of just a few of them :

1. In 15m., in Strangford Lough, the wreck of a Second World War "Liberty Ship".
2. At 20m., near the shore of Strangford, in Ringhaddy Sound, the sunken launch of the Guinness family.
3. At 20m., in Belfast Lough, the wreck of an old banana boat.
4. At 30m.,in the open Irish sea, a former transporter, with its cargo of monumental building stones still intact.
5. At 40 m, in the Irish Sea, 2 miles offshore, the last cargo vessel to be sunk in the First World War. (Ironically, it had originally been a German merchantman.)
6. Off Rathlin Island, two wrecks :one at 15m., of a Second World War ammunition boat ; the other, at 33m., of a container vessel
7. Off the Donegal coast, at 60m.-70m, (a tri-mix dive for the more advanced diver), a German U-Boot

SPECIALITY DIVING : ADVENTURE DIVING can also cater for those who wish to take part in speciality diving, for example :

• Dry suit
• Photography
• Deep Sea
• Drift Diving (up to 7 knots)
• Nitrox and Tri-mix.

EQUIPMENT : You can bring your own equipment, or hire from us. Please order well in advance. We can also service all the usual gear in our workshop.

SEASON : Thanks to the benign influence of the Gulf Stream, diving in our waters is practised all the year round. Dry suits are, however, essential from October to March.
