Abhainn Rí - Dive Boat Charter and Vessel for Powerboat Training

Abhainn Rí (River King) is a 7.4 meter RIB with a 150hp outboard engine. This type of boat provides us with the flexibility to dive at many locations around Donegal, ensuring that in times of high winds we may be able to dive at some sheltered locations depending on wind direction.

At Diveology we take safety very seriously so Abhainn Rí is fitted out with a high standard of navigation and communications equipment. Among the safety equipment onboard is an oxygen therapy kit and First Aid box. Port Na Blagh provides an ideal location to launch our 7.4m RIB, Abhainn Rí. 

Abhainn Rí is licensed by the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources.  The P6 Passenger Boat Licence is issued to certify that the provisions of the Merchant Shipping acts relating to the inspection of passenger boats have been complied with. Abhainn Rí is licensed to carry 11. The licence number is 1022.

We issue life jackets to all onboard when on passage to and from the dive sites and during training.

Onboard Abhainn Rí life jackets are NOT optional ... everybody must wear one.
