Dublin University Sub-Aqua Club

We had a couple days of summer diving down at Hook Head, powered mostly by potassium 🤿

As summer diving picks up, the kelp-dwelling locals found themselves at Malin Beg for a weekend of dives.

Good weather, numb toes, lots of shenanigans 🤿

What’s the next best thing to diving? Charting and Position fixing! A few weekends ago our divers took it to the surface to master navigation, because if we can’t be under the water, we’ll be plotting exactly how to get back there 🗺️ 🐟

Nothing beats a Killary weekend for some proper novice dive training! 🤿 We had a great crew out learning new skills and drills.
Local pigs stole our lunches, and we spent the evenings “studying” some quality shark cinema 🦈

Thank you so much to those who participated, especially everyone who instructed, drove, and managed the dives. Couldn’t do it without you!

Huge thank you to the TSU and the Pavilion Grant Scheme for funding new radios for our boats, and life jackets for our divers!! This funding enables us to continue doing what we do best, diving safely and responsibly 🛟

Come join us for a try dive next Monday, November 17th! This is a perfect time for people who have never dived before to test it out in a safe environment before we open signups for semester 2.

It will take place in the Trinity pools between 8-10pm, and the only stuff you have to bring is swimwear to get changed in to (including a swim hat if possible)

Tickets will be released on Friday November 14th and the Eventbrite link will be in our bio!

Oh oh what’s this? A pub quiz against Trinity Barbell to finally put to rest the age old question; which niche sports club is superior??

Well, even though we know DUSAC is the rightful winner, join us next Wednesday (12th November) at 6:30pm in the Lombard to help us secure that victory!

You can come as a group or by yourself, and yes, there will be a prize for first place 🫡

Today is Nudibranch Day aka. Sea Slug Day! There are over 3,000 known species of nudibranch in the world, with at least 96 recorded in Ireland. They are known for their brightly coloured “frills”. These frills are actually external respiratory organs (ie. their gills) and are usually feather-like with the bright colours for camouflage or warning predators.

These photos were taken off the coast of Ireland by one of our club members, Michael, with the first 5 being from the Skelligs and the last one being from St. John’s Point. The species are Fjordia brownie, Cadlina laevis and Polycera quadrilineata.

Thank you Michael for the beautiful photos, and make sure to look out for these little guys on your next dive!
