Inishbofin Diving Week
I just got back from Inishbofin (Connemara) Saturday, after a great week of dives, great weather, good food ( thanks to the great cooks in the group), clear waters, a bit of mad trad session, and fantastic buddies. All organized by the Aughinish Diving Club.
What else could you ask for ?
Our base-camp, with the boat club:
One of my underwater buddy, a keen photographer, probably looking for seal or dogfish:
Decompression Time in the local pub:
Dawn colors:
Underwater shot:
The Harbour, on the day we left.... :(
The ferry who brought us back:

Last monday, I saw my first Octopus in Irish Water. Actually we saw two, in was at 27 meter deep near Scariff island in county Kerry. One of my buddy, Brian was lucky enough to capture it on photo before his battery died. See below Brian picture.

Cinema de quartier
This last few months, I've rekindled my love for the cinema bis, by organizing viewing of some forgotten gems.
Last week, the theme of the night was Japanese Gore, starting with the cult "Tetsuo: The Iron Man" from Shinya Tsukamoto. To be honest I could not quite remember the movie, and though I understand its innovation, I was more impressed by Tsukamoto later work.
We quickly follow by the bizarre and perverse movie from 2008: "Tokyo Gore Police", quite extreme and at the same time very juvenile.
So far we had quite few nights around those alternative cinema, see below the list of movie we entertained:

Officially back scuba-diving
That's it, after a couple of snorkels in the lake and in the sea, I am officially back diving with an impressive 30 minutes dive in Newfie, Kilkee down to 10 meters. Lovely day and lovely dive with great people indeed.
To illustrate this some picture of Kilkee with the ladies going to train for the Currach race.
