18m dives around north or west Ireland

My buddy is only qualified to dive to 18m, are there any dive sites
around the north or west of Ireland you recommend we should try
out?

Cheers.

You may be mixing up qualified and certified.
Physic laws extend without step functions, even down to more than 18m.
Just to state, this "you are only qualified BS" is only aimed to
separate you from your cash.
What counts, is not certification, but skills assessment, development
and training.

Hi

What area are you going to be in - have a look at www.diveology.ie ,
www.aquaholics.org or look at CFT website - www.scubaireland.com this will
give you a list of local clubs.

Yes he might be "mixing up qualified and certified" just the same as he
might have 500 dives under his belt and no desire to go up the qualification
ladder.

Seems like a reasonable and responsible question to me. Don't give him a
hard time for it.

Well responded! Know what you mean. I have come across a few people who
having gained certification to greater depths than 18m openly stated that
while they did it, they did not feel comfortable knowing there was a height
of a 14-storey block of flats above them, and it is a depth they are
unlikely to do again.

If it's not fun, don't do it. There are plenty of other things in life over
which we have no control to worry about.

Takes a bit of finding, I was touring by bike so not diving, just
storing information for a later visit. Still it's the only time I've
see a beware of the bull sign at a dive centre

I found similar at the IOM, while motorcycling ...
The bulls were friendly, though. As a hint to what make of motorcycle I
was riding
