This year also has seen the return of some faces from
a few years back, welcome again to Louise Hipwell and
to Jamie Hargrave, and I understand that a few more
faces from the past may wet their fins once again this
year.
Diving
2003
The Club Diving Officer, Paul Cullen, has posted the
dive plan for the year and already there is a considerable
level of interest in the weekends away. Peadar who is
running the Easter trip to Killary already has a full
compliment, clearly there`s no substitute for charisma
you either have it or you don’t, which in Peadar`s
case leaves me lost for words.
For anyone in doubt about
the diving plans for the year please check with Paul
and he`ll put you in the picture. One thing that Paul
and I have discussed at length is the need for good
planning for all diving and that DODs follow the guidelines
that Paul has laid down. It is also the responsibility
for all Curragh divers to maintain best practice and
to help out where possible to make the DO`s job more
manageable. We have a great record in this club in terms
of safety and good practice and we all want this to
continue.
The DO and Training Officer
have already given notice about snorkelling and diving
pre requisites so there is nothing for me to add in
this regard.
Paul has been putting out regular bulletins so I wont
duplicate them here.
N.B. Remember that you are not insured until your registration
fee has been paid over to CFT so please get your subscription
paid on time so as to ensure you are covered when you
dive.
While the rest of us took
a sojourn from diving activities over the winter three
club members were studying very hard on a myriad of
diving related topics. Siobhan McGlinchey, Paul Walsh
and Niall Stapleton were rewarded for their efforts
when they all passed the Monitor 1 Diving Instructor
examinations in February.
That`s all for now, So get
your gear sorted and get diving.
