January display in local library ahead of @diveirelandexpo 2025
The January exhibition at Nenagh Library is an intriguing collection of underwater photographs taken by divers.
The photographs feature a wide and captivating array of marine life pictured around Ireland and abroad. This collection was on display at last year’s Diving Ireland Expo, the national scuba-diving and associated watersports annual convention, which was held at the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin.
This year’s Diving Ireland Expo will be held in Nenagh, hosted by the local @loughdergsac . The photography exhibition now on display in Nenagh Library serves to whet the appetite for the upcoming event. All are welcome to come and marvel at the images captured by the Diving Ireland underwater photography group, which was set up 15 years ago for Irish underwater photographers to share their expertise and encourage those new to taking underwater pictures. The group has grown to include many international photographers. Knowledge is shared for technical equipment, camera settings and, when requested, constructive critique of images taken. The travelling exhibition showcases the group’s work and passion for documenting the underwater world.
Come and see the exhibition in Nenagh, free of charge, during library opening hours - Monday, 9.30am - 5.30pm; Tuesday, 9.30am - 8pm; Wednesday, 9.30am - 5.30pm; Thursday, 9.30pm - 5.30pm; Friday, 9.30am - 1pm and 2 - 5pm and Saturday, 10am - 1pm and 2 - 5pm.
A new photography exhibition will form part of Diving Ireland Expo 2025, which will be held at the Abbey Court Hotel over the weekend of March 29-30.
The expo also features a raffle with some fantastic prizes to be won - tickets are currently in circulation and can be obtained from Lough Derg SAC members.
