Spearfishing in Ireland - Samson`s wreck - Pollock - Ardmore

Welcome back! over 10 years ago when I saw Samsons wreck in Ardmore for the first time, I thought Yes, gotta get there...
About a week ago Martin asked me if I want to go out and he has a boat... Straight away my answer was Samson!
My excitement was huge from the idea to the actual day we went out. Left from Ardmore harbour at 9am shortly after straight in the water! I was so happy to be there I didn't wanna leave :)
3 hours and 46 dives later it was time to get out. What we seen is in the video so enjoy and comeback to see part 2 with all the spearfishing action.

History:
Samson was a crane barge which ran aground off the coast of Ireland in 1987.
Samson had left Liverpool on 9 December 1987, bound for Valletta, Malta. Though the barge was initially being towed by a tugboat, the towline parted in near gale force conditions while off the Welsh coast early on 11 December. The two men aboard the barge were rescued by an RAF Sea King flying from RAF Brawdy, after attempts to reconnect the tow line failed.
The barge eventually ran aground at Rams Head, Ardmore, County Waterford, at approximately 7.50 am on 12 December. Dangerous pollutants were removed soon after the barge went aground, but despite questions being raised in the Dáil Éireann, the wrecked barge was not salvaged, and remains in site.
In April 2016 the entire jib collapsed into the sea and lost.
