What a weekend out west in Killary Fjord.
Ten new PADI Open Water students took to the Atlantic to complete their training dives, putting everything they had learned in the classroom and pool into practice in the clear waters of Connemara.
Meanwhile, three more divers pushed their training further and became PADI Deep Divers, developing the skills, confidence and experience needed to safely explore some of Ireland’s deeper dive sites.
The conditions were good, the scenery was spectacular and the atmosphere among the group was even better. There was plenty of diving, great food, lots of laughs and all the fun that comes with an Oceandivers weekend away.
These weekends are about much more than earning a diving qualification. They bring together students, qualified divers, instructors and crew, creating new friendships and introducing more people to the incredible diving available right here on Ireland’s west coast.
A massive congratulations to our ten new Open Water students and our three new Deep Divers. Thank you as always to the Oceandivers instructors, Divemasters and support crew who gave their time and worked throughout the weekend to keep everyone safe, comfortable and progressing.
Another busy and successful weekend for Oceandivers—and another great group of divers joining our growing diving community.
West is best.
