Ireland’s<br />

Connemara<br />

Text and photos<br />

Sliding into brackish<br />

water riddled by<br />

a seasonal downpour<br />

might not be<br />

everybody’s idea <strong>of</strong><br />

a week-end in the<br />

Wild West...but for<br />

the frustrated winter<br />

diver that I am, there<br />

is sometimes nothing<br />

like the peaty waters<br />

<strong>of</strong> Connemara.<br />

The region <strong>of</strong> Connemara<br />

on the West coast <strong>of</strong> Ireland<br />

is famous for its scenery and<br />

fishing. It has inspired many<br />

artists and attracts tourists<br />

every year from all over<br />
