Deep Blue Sea Kayaking

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.

Greenland paddle making course

We're running our first course to make Greenland paddles on the weekend of the 24th/25th January. It'll be held in Newpark Comprehensive School in Blackrock, Co.Dublin. Students will make their paddle on Saturday and Sunday morning and then we'll go on the water to show how they're used. It costs €195 which includes all tools and materials. Call Des on 086 8205627 if you've questions or would like to book.

Malta

We'd a lovely trip to Malta in October. Air temperatures of high 20's and water temperature of 23 degrees. Ahhh... just like the Irish summer! We'll be going back next year with a group. Details soon...

West Coast Trip

We were in Roundstone on the 13th and 14th of September. While it wasn't windy, we could have done with a bit of sunshine! Nevertheless, we did get to Slyne Head, MacDara's and Mason Islands.
