Back (again)

Paper · Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 1:02 pm Post subject: Back (again)

Hi All,

I tried to get back into the water back in 2009, just as things were shaping up nicely, along came bundle of joy no. 2 which put the brakes on things for a while, now the time has come to try again.

I am based in kildare but can travel and am trained to PDI Advanced level, I can travel and am looking to get involved with a club or simular, got most of my own gear, (really must invest in a drysuit now though!) except tank and weights.

I last dived properly almost 5 years ago (Red Sea wrecks) but I did a couple of Dives on Holiday in Lanzorote a couple of years ago.

be good to hear from anyone.

Nik

I have not yet had the joy of diving off the coast of Ireland almost all of my diving has been in the Red Sea or Mexico, hence the reason for needing a good dry suit!

Hi Nick,

I am currently negotiating child number two and diving, I appreciate the effort involved. I dive with Atlantis CFT club based in South Dublin, we use the pool in Tallaght for some winter training after Christmas and are always interested in meeting people who are looking at clubs.

Best of luck finding a good fit, with drysuit and club Wink

Hi Nick

I'm in Leixlip and diving with Viking sub Aqua in Blanchardstown. I can give you more details if you want (ph 0874145015) Dry-suits are nice but I've dived in wetsuits most of my life and find they are fine (at least where multiple dives are not involved ) so wouldn't be in too much of a hurry there (unless you have all the rest of your kit in which case go ahead and treat yourself - it's Christmas Very Happy

).

Cheers

Chris
