[Дайвер Сергей]

Игорь, я имел в виду следующее:
район Англии и Ирландии, т.е. как добраться
что там можно посмотреть, т.е. места погружений, какие рыбы, рэки, и т.д.
какие условия, температура воды, течения,
какие условия проживания, когда сезон,
ну а так, Игорь, возможно жди гостей!

PS Пусть Валя (Дождливая) меня дополнит, если что-то я забыл!

Сергей, я не в курсе как от вас добиратся, мне ведь проще.. я тут живу.. в Англию- паромом добираюсь..
посмотреть...ООО!!! посмотреть есть чего)
есть клифы, реки, дрифтинг- отменный, да и просто для души...
втречаются киты, дельфины, котики..вагонами..иногда лазят чуть ли не по спине))) непуганые)))
условия..хммм... в зависимости от того сколько ты хочешь потратить...можно и в кампусе жить, можно и 5ти старе... обычно народ приезжает на день...пришел, заплатил за лодку, воздух, снаряж( что тебе надо) и пошел...вернулся, сел на машину,автобус(чем добрался) и поехал домой... у меня- мотик, так что чаще всего я на автобусе/поезде/электричке... цены вполне нормальные,не страшные(по моему)так как я- одиночка, то чаще всего бью баллоны в клубе и еду куда придет в голову, живу я под Дублином, и самый ближний вариант, примерно 20 минут- еду в Howt, там можно рядом с клифами понырять, или из Howt сажусь на паром и добираюсь до Irish Eye(остров) и ныряю вокруг, это занимает примерно от 2х до 4х часов(дорога нырялка) если есть побольше времени и нужна лодка- еду в клуб,Oсean Divers(я его,хммм.... член)и там в зависимости от погоды, программы и желания участников...

GETTING THERE
Flight time from London to Ireland is between an hour and 90 minutes. Competition has made fares very reasonable, especially to Dublin. However, car hire can be expensive, so flying to a regional airport and arranging a transfer through your dive operator may be more attractive.
Aer Lingus:
Tel (0171) 899 4747.
British Airways:
Tel (0345) 222111.
Ryanair: Tel. (0171) 435 7101.
However, most divers opt for the ferry – a few divers sharing a car can prove very economical. Many Irish dive operators negotiate attractive rates as part of a dive holiday. Crossings are as follows:
Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire – best for west coast, 3 hours 45 mins by ferry or 1 hour 40 mins on the Sea Cat.
Fishguard and Pembroke to Rosslare – best for south/south-west, 3 hours 30 mins.
Swansea to Cork – ideal for south-west, 10 hours.
Stranraer to Larne – best for north, 2 hours 20mins.

NEED TO KNOW
Formalities are easy in Ireland. British and EU nationals do not need a passport to enter the Republic or the North, but it is useful to carry one in case you need to use medical services, or cash travellers cheques. If you choose not to carry a passport, carry some other form of ID (eg driver’s licence). Travellers from the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand require a passport and may stay for up to three months without a visa.
Currency is the Irish Pound, also known as the punt, and is currently worth about £0.85. Sterling is widely accepted, as are all major credit cards.
You do not need any inoculations or special health precautions. Certainly, you are unlikely to suffer sunstroke but it is probably wise to have travel insurance. EU nationals are entitled to medical treatment under the Reciprocal Medical Treatment arrangement (Form E111 from any Social Security Office).
Driving in Ireland requires a current driving licence plus an international driving permit (AA or RAC). If you are bringing your own car, carry your vehicle registration documents and ensure that you are adequately insured. Driving rules and regulations are much the same as in Britain, though signs are in both miles and kilometres (green).

условия проживания... да легко... где хочешь...если я на выезде, то обычно в B&B, не стесняюсь) иногда при клубах, которые специализируются на многодневных сафари есть небольшие гостиницы, или они забукают тебе то что ты хочешь, от самой дешевой, до самой дорогой...
так, что там еще? а, рыбы... рыбы....хммм.. я в них не разбираюсь, но есть))) есть и акулы...помню на китовую нарвался, чуть не обделался от страха....))) есть и звери) но о них я писал выше)

температура воды и течения...в первой ссылке) но скажу проще, без 7ки тут будет грустно...причем полной... утеплитель- категорически не помешает... сухарик...на вкус и цвет... у меня скубапрошный Т-зип, мне его хватает, под него я одеваю неопреновую майку и шорты... хватает...абтюратор от -НортДайвер и 5мм перчатки...тепло..но так как я люблю все трогать и совать руки во все дыры- то обычно у меня разные перчатки,левая- теплая, а правая- тонкая) видимость...чаще всего, если с запада и севера- до 30 метров просмотришь... в Ирландском море, похуже, по весне, например- планктон наносит... а если еще и отлив начался- то до 3х метров падает...

надеюсь основные заморочки осветил?))) если что- спрашивайте еще)))
еще немного-
Rugged mountains and moors border on sheltered bays and white beaches that run into the ocean. It is usually possible to find lee behind a rock no matter which way the wind is blowing. There are sheltered harbors for the beginner and steep rocky cliffs, kelp forests and swim-throughs for the experienced diver. The relatively warm and nutrient-rich waters makes for colorful and varied sea life and typically you will encounter busy shrimps, wrasse, lobsters, conger eels and red sharks. The occasional turtle and triggerfish can also be found. On a sunny day you’re surrounded by shimmering colors – iridescent reds and greens from the forests of seaweeds and kelp with splashes of yellow glistening from sponges and sea stars.

From June to August vast shoals of pollack and mackerel come close inshore. Imagine a dive in the presence of literally millions of fish in mid-water – for example masses of small fry near the surface – surrounded by tope and dogfish. It is a sight from heaven!

Some of the most popular places for diving are Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay (Cork County), the Inveragh Peninsula (Kerry), Galway Bay and around Hook Head (Wexford County). If you’re into wreck diving, the HMS Drake (off Rathlin Island on the north-east Ulster coastline) is a great wreck to dive. However, wrecks are protected under Irish law and in most cases a special permission is required for this type of diving.

If you want to try diving in different areas, especially driving on the west coast you can easily find picturesque routes. If you pass a town that offers dolphin watching you are in for a real treat! Bottlenose dolphins have been observed around the whole coast of Ireland but most frequently off the south and west coasts. The town of Kilrush, where the river Shannon opens into the ocean, is especially known for dedicated research to protect the bottlenose dolphins and other sea mammals. Here you have a chance to go dolphin watching and learn about dolphins and maybe even get the opportunity to observe the minke whale, which is the most common whale in Irish waters. Off the west Clare coast and off Loop Head especially in fall there are great sightings. The waters to the west of Clare and the Aran Islands are thought to be a summer calving ground for common dolphins.

Charming, curious, and playful, the dolphins dart unpredictably under and around the boat, showing off with great jumps and splashes that are bound to amaze and delight you. They will often come quite close to the boat giving you the rare opportunity to see wild dolphins within a couple of meters.

DIVE TRIPS
The dive centers have schedules of the dive trips and you can join longer or shorter trips depending on the day and the type of dive planned. It is a good idea to contact the dive center in advance for details and booking.

Diving is done from ribs, small boats and cutters. Most dive centers have complete sets of equipment for rent and offers all the comfort of a modern dive center from arrangements of accommodation, food, etc.

CONDITIONS
Although most dive spots are well sheltered from prevailing winds and diving in reality is done all year around the best time to go is from June to September where the weather conditions are fairly reliable, warmest and the daylight hours are long. The prevailing southwesterly winds coming from the Atlantic makes the climate consistent and temperatures are fairly uniform over the whole country. However, dives are affected by the powerful tide, strong winds and high seas that can sometimes make diving impossible - especially in fall and winter. It is also a good idea to be prepared for rain because Ireland is wet. If you do find that the rain is getting to you, you might find a little comfort in the Irish saying that “it doesn't rain in the pub!”

A 7mm semi-dry suit (with boots, gloves and hood) is sufficient insulation in from July to September. However, if you are easily chilled, a drysuit is recommended – as for any other time of the year. The water temperature rarely drops to less than 8 degrees Celsius due to the Gulf Stream, making it possible to dive all year around. Visibility is surprisingly good in European terms. You will experience around 15m as an average (depending on the depth) and it is certainly not unusual to dive in conditions with a visibility well into the twenties.

A diving medical examination is required before commencement of dive training. For certified divers a medical examination must be obtained every two years when under the age of 30 years and annually for divers aged 30 and over. A chest x-ray is required on the first medical and then every 10 years for non-smokers and every 6 years for smokers.
