Dungannon Sub Aqua Club

Last weekend the Club stayed up at the Donegal Boardwalk Resort & Spa between Creeslough and Carrigart for a long bank holiday weekend of boating and diving.
The Wicked Lady went into the water at Mevagh and our assistant coxswains had plenty of time to get their hours up behind the wheel, and our divers had some great dives in around Melmore and Sheephaven Bay, including a cheeky night dive at Portnablagh.
Unfortunately we had no underwater photographers in the water but thanks to Andrea for taking plenty of fantastic shots on the surface. Including snapping the quick video of the salty sea dog. There were a couple of porpoises too but unfortunately we couldn't catch them on camera.
Overall it we had great club activities, great food, great company and great craic. And Donegal remains one of the best places in the world.

Help Shape the Future of Diving Ireland

The future of Diving Ireland starts with you.

We’re launching our 2026 Strategy Consultation and inviting all members to have their say. Whether you’re a diver, snorkeller, freediver, underwater hockey player, instructor, volunteer or club committee member, your feedback will help shape the direction of our organisation for the years ahead.

This is your opportunity to share your ideas, highlight what’s working well, and tell us where we can improve.

Every voice matters. Every opinion counts.

Massive thanks to Sheephaven Subaqua for hosting the course and providing the knowledge, craft and time for our new assistant Cox'ns Christine, Rafał and Kyle, with emotional support from Noel. Good luck to everyone who took the course, and for our crew, it's time to get your hours up.

It was a rainy day in beautiful Downings but there was a lot of learning and live demonstrations on the open water in Sheephaven Bay. A place well worth a visit even if you aren't in the diving community, and you never know, maybe it'll inspire you to get in the water.

Everyone at Dungannon Sub Aqua Club would like to wish the best of luck to the four candidates in the Northern Region doing their Mon 1 Theory exams today with Donegal Bay SAC.

These exams are the culmination of a lot of hard work and study and takes huge dedication over years, and shows true commitment to safe diving and the continued growth of Sub Aqua sports across Ireland.

These examinations today couldn't take place without the support and cooperation of individuals and Sub Aqua Clubs across the length and breadth of the island, and a big thank you goes out to them as well.
