Learn and Explore With Diveology. Diving, Dive Boat Charter and Marine Safety Training. Based in Co Donegal Ireland.

Hi! I am Derek Flanagan one of the directors of Diveology Limited.I instruct the various training courses that we run at Diveology and skipper the Diveology dive boat Abhainn Rí. I started my sea going career in 1990 working on a trawler call the Twilight Star on the East Coast of Ireland.  During the ten years I spent at sea I worked on various fishing vessels and merchant navy vessels.  I attended the National Fishers College in Co Donegal in 1991 for the Deck Hand Course and learned all the skills a fishermen needs to safely work on a vessel.  During this time I also sailed on the Sail Training Vessel Asgard II, which was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone of any age.
