RED BULL CLIFF DIVING SERPENT'S LAIR INIS MOR IRELAND

So, Yes this is a video so hardly worth writing about it. Although I should say it was painful to make and worked out well in the end as far as I can tell :)  Hopefully some people and online news/sharing sites will pic it up and run with it. I can see an improvement in my artistic shots, since I started making videos. Also , I learned about the importance of sound. The interviews are poor due to a bad microphone set up, and a lot of wind.

My brother and I got off the ferry and set up our tents quickly. We picked up a guy Sean Smithers at the site and made him an honarary member of the crew. Then we legged it of to Pol na Peist to see could we jump in.





If you liked that please share it around, by posting the video on your Facebook page.


When we got there there was a lot of security, so there was no chance of jumping. I was ready to go mentally, but I guess I cant claim I would have done it... Maybe I would have bottled it.  Anyway, the weather was terrible. We went home and back in to Joe Watty's Pub, which was just across the road from the tents. In there the divers were having a pint. There was a nice atmosphere.





This for me is the best still  from the  video. It just looks epic. Think that is Jorge up there. He had struggled ith some mental demons in the warm up dives and it took real guts to get back up there and try again.

We stayed in the back garden of a B&B. It was arranged by Donal. He is the coach of Shamrock Diver's club, Dublin.  They train in the National Aquatic Centre.

Right that is all i want to write today... See you all soon. :)

Peace
