not sure if this is of any use / too far south.....
there were quite a few decent sites out of baltimore in SW ireland. all
relatively shallow (about 20m) IIRC, but i would need to dig out the
relevant logbook to check. the wrecks were pretty broken up but still made
for good diving. you can also get out to fastnet rock which gives good
diving at all levels. another interesting dive is the kowloon bridge. 6m at
shallowest to 35m or so at the sea bed. we dived with jerry and rianne
(aquaventures) about 5 years ago.

A CESA? You're talking padispeak?
No wonder it worried me

Don't give up on UKRS too easily. The newsgroup is unmoderated so
cannot be held responsible for its content!

The group is not "high traffic" at the moment, but sensible and
interesting questions generally get informed and measured replies.
Stuff that has been debated to death, and is available in the FAQs,
might get less response.

Occasionally someone will be having an off-day, and fire off something
less than heplful, but this is up to you to filter, and generally the
signal to noise ratio is good.
