Book HERE.


There is a £10/€12 donation (plus a small processing fee charged by Eventbrite) to book onto this course. The full £10 proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to The Ray Project.

Bleubird Sessions is a series of events with local independent activity providers to encourage our community to embrace the outdoors in new ways, with like-minded people, all whilst giving back to environmental charities of our partners' choice.

This Session will take place on the famous Trá an Dóilín Beach in County Galway, on 26th August at 11 am in partnership with Atlantic Scuba Adventures, one of the only SSI Accredited Dive Centres in Ireland. 


All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Ray Project. The Session will last two hours, during which you will be guided by trained instructors to discover the wonders of what lies beneath the shores off the coast of the west of Ireland.

What to bring


Each snorkeler needs to bring swimming togs and a towel. Bringing a backpack for your belongings and a robe for changing is also advisable. Atlantic Scuba Adventures will supply the rest of the necessary equipment, including a toasty 5mm wetsuit, booties, mask, fins, and snorkel.


All snorkelers must have an account at MySSI, affiliate to "Atlantic Scuba Adventures" and complete the digital medical form prior to arriving.


When arriving, please meet at Atlantic Scuba Adventures. Find them on Google Maps here.

Charity – The Ray Project


Founded by MSci Marine Biology student Maya Harris, The Ray Project is a charity dedicated to the conservation and research of rays and skates. Batoids are commonly overlooked when creating ocean conservation policy so The Ray Project focuses on research into local rays and skates, and started community outreach events to engage the public.


Their aim is to one day lead the research and conservation of rays and skates worldwide by collecting enough data to develop policy and make real change regarding the protection of this incredible species.


You can read more about their recent projects and make a donation on the website here.
