Deep Blue Sea Kayaking 2009

We give sea kayaking courses for all levels from beginner, introductory level to advanced, mainly on the East Coast (Dublin area) of Ireland. We also specialise in sea kayaks, gear and equipment.

Rolling sessions

Build your confidence & get a solid roll or improve or develop your existing roll. We're holding rolling classes with 1:1 instruction in Dalkey next Tuesday (7th) and the following Tuesday (14th). We have another series starting in February.

Vouchers

Would you like a voucher for someone you care about? We do vouchers for any amount: they last until September so effectively you have all next season; you can pay by card over the phone, post a cheque or by Paypal; we can post or email the voucher. It's as easy as a phone call to +353-86-8205627.

Maybe they've expressed in interest in getting out on the water but never got around to it? Buy them a Try Sea Kayaking voucher.

Mulled Wine Paddle

We're running our Mulled Wine paddle on Sunday, 19th December at 10am from Bulloch Harbour. We'll supply extra tops and a warming mulled wine break on Dalkey Island. Click here for full details.

Night Paddle

For anyone who has done an Introductory course, you can experience the magic of Dublin Bay at night. Click here for more information.

Try Sea Kayaking

There's no better way to try sea kayaking. We'll be running sessions from March through November.

The sessions cost ï¿½50 (or ï¿½45 pp for 2 or more booking together) - this includes kayak and gear. We'll spend a while covering the basics and then will paddle out to see the seals and other wildlife around Dalkey Island. If you have 3 or more people, we're happy to put one on to suit you.

Improver sessions

We're adding some interesting variations to the sessions this winter. If you'd like to do Incident Management (what can go wrong, will), Strokes or Navigation, then these Improver sessions will suit you. The normal sessions will run as usual. For more info, look here.

Celtic Sea & Surf Symposium 2010

We were delighted to organise the Celtic Sea & Surf symposium with Brian Forrest of Northwest Sea Kayaking on the October Bank Holiday. We were really lucky to get some beautiful weather which showed Ardara and South West Donegal at it's best. We had some brilliant surf sessions with top coaches and the sea kayaking was equally special with a circumnav of Aranmore and great paddles around the Slieve League penisula.

ICU Level 3, 4 and 5 Training

We're running a Level 3 training course in February, Level 4 (in 7 different modules) over the winter and a seperate weekend course in late January. We'll be doing a Level 5 course during March.

Weekends in the West

We had a great season going west. The best weather was a fantastic weekend off Connemara in August, the most challenging being Donegal with Sligo being somewhere in between.
