Festive Greetings all, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. It's nearly time to get in the sea at last! We're off to Carraroe in Connemara from 19 - 21st February for our annual snorkel trip. You don’t want to miss this one! I've provisionally booked two 4* lodges which accommodate 8 people each: http://www.carraroeholidaycottages.ie/about.htm These are a short distance from the coral strand (the only coral beach in Europe) and right beside the main pub in the town. Carraroe is a gorgeous spot where they all speak Irish!!! All trainees have to do 5 snorkels before diving in the sea to allow for acclimatisation to the water temperature. Current members must do 3 snorkels each. Therefore this is an excellent opportunity for all members to get their snorkels signed off and ………have a massive party. The weekend is subsidised by the club but should cost around €50-60 per person which will include food, accommodation and some booze. You’ll also need to budget for petrol and tolls (approx €70 per car). If you want to go please let me know by Mon 17th January at the latest as I may need to book extra accommodation. There is another lodge or cottage or extra mattresses available – preference will be given to those who reply first! Please do not assume that I will psychically know that you are coming no matter how special you think you are! Also please state in your reply if you need a lift or are able to offer someone a lift down. I’m hoping to make it 3 to a car where possible as we shouldn’t have too much gear. Remember, car-pooling saves these guys:[X] Here’s a link to photos from last year’s snorkel trip to wet your appetite…! http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~subaqua/photo_gallery.php Happy New Year!
