Melissa Necchio May 2024I had the most amazing experience trying scuba diving on my favorite beach in Ireland, with such a great and knowledgeable instructor that made me feel capable and calm during my first diving class ever. I was able to confidently use the equipment and enjoyed every minute. Thanks to Kirsty and Chloe for all your support. 🤿🦀🐟🌊
Pit N, Germany May 2025We had a lovely dive, the weather was ok and we saw many cat sharks, including a baby. Our guide was professional and very helpful.

Martin Brett August 2022If you ever wanted to try scuba, or are already qualified and are looking for professional, helpful and enthusiastic guides to show you dive sites in Co Galway, then Atlantic Scuba Adventures is THE place to go.

Cole July 2024Great experience right in the heart of one of the nicest beaches, how lucky to have the chance to learn so much with the Scuba diving instructor who makes it fun as well as enjoyable while having safety as top priority. Could not recommend Atlantic Scuba Adventures enough.
rebeccarig1 April 2023Headed to ASA for a collaboration event with Free Dive Northern Ireland for an introduction to free diving session. Kirsty is just amazing. ASA is a fantastic facility in beautiful Ceathrú Rua. If you’re looking to explore Connemara in a unique way, then this is it!
Davis W, Georgetown June 2022I can’t thank Kirsty with Atlantic Scuba Adventures enough for making our trip a memorable one. We showed up and they had all the equipment set up and ready to go. We met them and it was like instant friends! Kirsty drove around to a couple different spots to find us a good area to go in at and took us for a ~40min dive that was just incredible…
