June bank holiday - Got wrecked !

The bank holiday weekend provided us with much better weather than the forecasters had predicted. We had very calm but overcast conditions on Saturday and dropped 22 divers on the Kowloon Bridge. Viz was between 14 and 18 mtrs and a number of divers had never dived it before - this is one super big wreck (920 ft long) and needs to be dived a number of times to get acquainted.
The afternoon dive was on the Alondra for the hardboat and the Arches for the rhib. Wave Chieftain on Sunday did the U260 (great sunny weather although wind picked up in the afternoon)and the pinnacle or 78 Rock (beautiful scenic dive for those who can't/don't want to dive to 40 mtrs) and the East Kedge on the return leg. The rhib did the south Kedge and Spain Reef. Monday's weather started "soft" and windy but still gave us a nice trip to Crab Rock in the Gascanane Sound, and a couple of us did an Advanced Open Water Diver course in the afternoon with navigation skills and a night dive. Great weekend overall and thank you to all who dived with us for your support and great craic.
