Dive Rally season begins in Ireland
Five get-togethers planned up and down the Emerald Isle
The schedule for the Irish Dive Rally season has been announced, which is made up this year of five get-togethers over the summer.
Each Rally is a great opportunity for dive clubs and groups of friends to get together and explore somewhere new, meet other club members and have a bit of a party to boot. Divers and snorkelers are welcome.

Organised by the Irish Underwater Council (IUC/CFT), first up is the South West Dive Rally, taking place this coming weekend (19-21st May) in Cahersiveen, Co Kerry.

Each diver will be asked to contribute to fuel costs of the boat they dive from.
There will be compressors on site charging 5 euros for two fills. All divers must register and show their log book and active diver certs.
