Not Just a Pretty Sunset

This beautiful sunset scene looking out over the wild Atlantic ocean contains some of the most amazing diving I have been privileged to experience.

My very first dive here in Ireland was on Skellig Michael, that pyramid on the distant horizon. I could not have wished for a more profound introduction to Irish diving.

From there we’ve done many dives on Little Skellig, also on the horizon, the famous Puffin Island to the far left, Bray Head just below the sunset, Long Island in the middle left and Horse Island to the middle right.

This one image captures the playground of most of my diving in the last 12 months. Some of my dives have been amazing feasts of gin clear visibility and massive underwater structures in 40m of water while other dives have been simply, character building and only served to increase my bond with and trust of the skills of my diving buddies.

Diving here as introduced to me to the amazing creatures of these waters including whales, basking sharks, seals and all the local fishes.

I am truly grateful for being introduced to the wonderful members of the Kerry Subaqua Club and for them taking me under their wing and sharing with me this amazing part of the Wild Atlantic Way.
