Diving western Ireland (Eire)

My wife & I will be visiting the west coast of Southern Ireland in May next
year, as that co-incides with our tenth anniversary where we spent our
honeymoon touring Ireland from Rosslaire to Donnegal on a pair of
motorcycles. At that time my missus was not a dive (she did not even know
that I was), since then we've spent the last 8 years diving the UK & abroad.

This time we are going in our (recently bought) motorhome, with the dive
gear, so we're looking for recommendations of diving locations and dive
centres.

We want a dive centre that offers Nitrox and possibly Tri-Mix, has a good
boat (and skipper) and plenty of decent sites including wrecks as well as
some good photo opportunities.

TIA

jerry and rianne at aquaventures in baltimore. get to do the kowloon bridge,
various other wrecks, fastnet rock and the U260. pretty certain they do
trimix, deffo do nitrox though. diving when we were there 5 years ago was
from a large, fast rib. jerry skippers the boat and is hugely knowledgeable
on the wreck locations - to the point where he'd put the pick within 1m of
the centre of one of the 3m dia boilers on the alondra "it's close to the
boiler" jerry would announce.

saturday afternoon to go diving!-go figure...

You could try www.scubaireland.com. It's the official site for the Irish
Underwater Council. Plenty of links to some dive centres and wreck sites.
Hope it helps.
Euge.

Jerry in Baltimore runs a very good show, I'd highly recommend him. Kowloon
is a great dive as is the U260.

Scubadive west in Killary harbour in Galway are worth a look. Best diving
with them is out at the Islands. Turk, boffin and Clare.
