Re: Headed to Ireland!
Hi, My sister and mom go to Ireland twice a year. They pretty much hang around Dingle on the South East coast. They keep telling me that the diving there would be incredible. Spanish Galleons have wrecked along the South East coast of Ireland but the locations are unknown. Even Christopher Columbus sailed north and took a left turn when he got to Ireland to find the "new world". There are some popular wrecks off the islands around Dingle and there has to be Viking ships sunk near there. There are ring castles in an area called the "Burrens" and the two non-electric metal detectors I gave them to use while they are there were going crazy. These metal detectors were just pieces of #9 wire that were bent 90 degrees. The locals would frown on taking antiquities but they just wanted to see if there was metal around these stone walls. They told me that they couldn't walk 4 feet before they ran into more metal. They told me that there are lakes that weren't there 1000 years ago, and that there are stone houses and things in the bottom of these lakes from the viking days. That would be really cool to dive there. If you really want to get creeped out go to a cemetery and look closely at the ground. Most cemeteries in Ireland have bones scattered on top of the ground. Well... Enjoy your trip.
