Some words about our Specialties:

data for submission to the REEF Fish Survey Project.
*Boat Diver

It`s a good idea, but not required, that you enroll in this program to learn the techniques and procedures for diving from different types of boats (inflatable boats, hard-hulled day boats, cabin cruisers, live-aboards, sailboats, etc.).That`s a good thing - the more boats you dive from, the more diving you can do!
*Deep Diver
The program includes four open water dives, which are conducted over at least two days. The minimum depth for the deep dives is between 18 to 30 metres/60 to 100 feet, with no dive exceeding 40 metres/130 feet. All your dives will be conducted within the no-decompression limits, with deeper dives conducted first.

techniques and procedures for drift diving.

water dives, in addition to covering the knowledge and techniques of dry suit diving
with emphasis placed on the use of dry suits -- operation principles, care and diving
techniques.

may be conducted in one day. You`ll also be exposed to a variety of different types of

Location description: Donegal has some of the most beautiful scenery on land that can be compared to anywhere in the world with it`s hills, glens, rivers, lakes, and castles etc. If that weren`t enough, the same can be said of it`s underwater scenery around it`s rugged coastline. Together with the numerous
shipwrecks to be explored and it`s caves, rocks, sheer cliffs, sealife, fish etc. Donegals
exquisite beauty extends into the depths of the ocean that surrounds it and well worth a visit to view at first hand.
*2. S.V. Florence - Sailing Vessel
This is a good dive for Novices. Depth 10 meters and height of the wreck is 4 meters and it sits on a sandy seabed.
The vessel was on route from Galway to Derry with a cargo of flagstones. While
sheltering from a storm struck rocks and sank.
*8. Inish Dooey
Depth 15 meters. Wreck situated on the N.E side of The Island Boilers and there is
a large propellor to be seen. The seabed here consists mainly of Kelp.
*9. HMS Wasp
The dive Depth is 15 meters. The wreck lies mainly in gullies near the shore. This is a very nice dive - weather permitting. There are two nice Cannons to be seen here. The seabed is sandy.
*17. SS Kalliopis
Depth 25 meters. Lies approximately 30 feet of the rocks on the north coast of Donegal
out from Downings. A good dive due to the large amount of wreckage to sift through,
consists of a lot of crockery, the boilers and funnels can still be seen. Good dive for the novice with some experience. The vessel was of Greek origin, on her way to London with a cargo of grain. After being
torpedoed by a U-Boat caught fire, drifted on to the rocks and sank.
*18. S.V. Gaelic
Depth 23 to 30 meters. This vessel lies at the foot of Frenchman`s Rock (at Melmore Head), with deep gullies around it up to 30 meters. The seabed is made up of rocks and shale. This is a good dive for the experienced diver. Lots of different sea life to see.
*23. S.S. Laurentic
Depth 40 meters. Lies at the mouth of the Lough Swilly. Seabed is gravel. The Laurentic is the wreck divers dream, with her twisted metal and the thought of finding her long lost treasure. Sea life is in abundance on and around this wreck.
This vessel 550 feet long, was owned by the White Star Company, and was
a passenger liner built by Harland and Wolff. It was after she left Buncrana bound for
Halifax Nova Scotia that she struck a mine at the mouth of Lough Swilly and sank.
Part of her cargo was 43 tonnes of Gold bars and a huge quantity of silver coins.
The Gold bars have all been recovered apart from 20 still missing. The silver coins have never been found. So The Laurentic is still of great interest to divers.
