INTERNATIONAL EXPEDITIONS

Malin Head Wreck Diving Expedition 2019
We are planning another Expedition to dive the Historic wrecks off Malin Head and Northern Ireland in 2019.

The diving is stunning with excellent visibility and fabulous wrecks. The dives are all around the 40 to 70 metre range with some excellent WW1 and WW2 wrecks. The expedition will cost £770 per diver, this includes, 6 days boat diving on MV Rosguill with a full deco station and support Diver and back up gas on the line.

MV Rosguill is day boat set up for Technical Diving. The boat is a fully equipped diving platform with ease of entry and a lift for Diver recovery. At night time we return to sheltered moorings in Mulroy Bay.

Accommodation is bed and breakfast in the well appointed Fishermans Village cottages. Cost of this is 38 Euros per night per person (this is not included in overall price).

Nitrox, Oxygen, Helium and Air are available but are not included in the overall price.

Travel from UK to Ireland is by Ferry from Liverpool or Cairnryan (Stranraer) to Belfast or Larne and road journey to Donegal is 2 hours from either port.

The actual dives planned will be arranged around the group of divers and will be dependent on their wishes, qualifications and experience. Please discuss this with Jack Ingle. Some of the sites available are listed below but there are many more. Some of the sites further off shore will have a small fuel surcharge.
