I've been diving for a few years now. I learned to dive in Ireland while I was working there for two years. I've been back in NJ for about a year now and I just finshed my DM course.

Welcome to the board.
How was the diving in Ireland?
Also, how was the DM course? I will probably be taking the Padi DM course this summer.

Diving in Ireland is similiar to the NE coast. There are alot of wrecks. It also depends on which part of Ireland you're diving. The West and South coasts are great. I lived in Dublin area and dove there during the week and some weekends if there wasn't a trip planned for somewhere else.
The DM course was good. I learned alot of theory and was able to polish up on my skills. The DM course packs alot of information.

jerseydiver123 welcome! I've been taking a "poll" (for my own benefit) on folks who go pro. So I'm curious: What are your plans with your new found knowledge and experience? Was it primarily for personal advancement OR are you planning to work it as a job on the side for a long time to come or even to advance further along the professional ladder?

The plan is to work locally part time as DM for a year or so to gain more experience. Then go for instructor. I'm in no hurry though, I enjoy diving and learning new things.

Hi there! Were you with a club in Ireland - if so which one?

Yes, I dove with the National Dive School in Malahide. I lived in Malahide also. I didn't want to come back to the US. I really enjoyed it there! I think I dove on every coast of Ireland.

Send me a PM if you want more info. I'd like to hear about your dive experiences in Ireland also. Who do you dive with?
I still get dive updates by email from different clubs, I enjoy reading them.
