I have just finished diving some of the wrecks off Malin Head, which has been a truly amazing week. We dived classics like the Justicia, Empire Heritage and the Audacious and some not so well known wrecks of the UB89 and the Roscommon. The visibility ranged from 10-25m with the water temperature being 9 degrees on the bottom and 15 at the decompression station. The group was made up from guys from the UK and Ireland and all but 1 were diving Inspiration rebreathers. Depths ranged from 62-78m and bottom times were 25-35 minutes with total bottom times averaging 2 hours. If the cracking wrecks were not enough we also had the company of a Porbeagle Shark on the 1st two dives swimming around us on the deco station. We dived off the boat Rosguill skippered by Michael McVeigh and stayed at Michael and Heathers B&B The Fisherman's Cottages in Downings. I can not praise Michael and Heather enough for the welcome and generosity we received while staying and diving with them. I have booked again for next year so that says it all. I will write some more about the diving in the next week. Picture above is of the Gun of the UB89 a 2nd WW german submarine.
