Scuba
diving:
You
might be surprised to know that Scuba Diving is a very popular
sport in Ireland. Rocky coastline and clear waters make
for a perfect environment for the diver. There are
numerous diving groups and they are all highly experienced and
adhere to the most stringent regulations. Shipwrecks
abound close to the shoreline, relics of other times when wars
were fought in Ireland's Atlantic waters, and before technology
provided safety at sea.

Surfing:
Shhh! It's a secret..well,
almost...but Ireland's west coast is a
surfers haven. Big storm waves rolling in from the
Atlantic, miles of unspoiled sandy beaches, and plenty of lifeguards
to keep you safe, make Ireland a perfect place for the surfing
holiday. In County Clare and Donegal, you can find Surfing
schools at many locations, and board and wetsuit hire is readily
available.
