👏

A great day for instructor development in Athlone!

Last weekend saw the Diving Ireland National Moniteur Juror Course take place, with 15 Moniteur instructors beginning their journey towards becoming Moniteur 2 star examiners.

The Juror Course develops the skills required to assess divers and instructors consistently and fairly across the Diving Ireland system, covering assessment theory, practical and instructional assessment, written work, jury scenarios and the Examiner/Assessor Code of Conduct.

Following the course, our new trainee examiners will build experience across a range of Diving Ireland assessments as they work towards their Moniteur** qualification.

Congratulations to all 15 candidates and a huge thank you to everyone involved in delivering the course and supporting the next generation of Diving Ireland Examiners.

Building experience. Maintaining standards. Supporting safe, high-quality diver training across Ireland.

Sunday diving from Fort Dunree! A fantastic dive with an abundance of marine life, including Dead Man’s Fingers (soft coral), hornwrack, lobsters, brittle stars and more.

We also had a great view of a section of the historic communication cable at Dunree.

Exploring a new reef site a few nautical miles off Dunaff Head. A rocky reef covered in extensive kelp forest, dropping from approx 20m to 30m+. The site supported a diverse range of marine life, including small-spotted catsharks, po***ck, large boring sponges (Cliona celata), and common urchins. Plenty more to explore.

Great dives this week between Portnablagh and Massmount. Massmount this Sunday was a shakedown dive for two rebreathers and a 2 Star assessment, all which went great.

We started from a different and better location. The rebreathers got nearly 50 minutes, with a maximum depth of 17m, visibility of less than 5m, and a water temperature of 17°C.

Other than the visibility, it was a lovely morning in the water. ~ Dearn Mcclintock 📷
