Summer DivingAs I write this intro, diving in the Curragh is beginning to wind down after a very busy Summer. Plenty has been happening in the club with great diving both in Dublin and at the weekends away. The weather hasn't been as good as last year but the viz in Sandycove up to mid August has been very good with many a great dive being had from the clubhouse, Lady's Well, The Muglins, Dalkey Island and especially the Guide Me II. The weekends away have been very successful with trips so far this summer to Belmullet (see April/May newsletter for Mark Seavers article on that), Seafield Co Clare, Inishbofin and Burtonport. The Juniors have been snorkelling from the clubhouse and have been taken on boat rides around Dalkey Island. Elena Coyle has compiled a brief history of the Juniors section of the club since it started in the early 1980's. Ronan Murphy of the juniors has also written an article for this edition of the newsletter. Training has been ongoing all summer with people preparing for various grades. Congratulations must go to our two newly qualified M2s Niall and Siobhan who have worked very hard this season and helped so many others achieve their qualifications. Well done to our new club divers Brian Holland, Orna McCarthy and Ronan Kelehan. In this edition we have an article and plenty of photos from Boffin including some photos of the up and coming 'Tiger Woods' golfing in Bofin, the new Juniors section and a report from Gerry O'Dowd about what's been happening with all the club's equipment. We have photos from the BBQ that John and Cathy O'Connor hosted in Loughshinny, Kevin St.John has written about his first visit to Burtonport and Mick Moriarty gives us his memories of diving in Kilkee in the 1950s and 60s. Hope you enjoy the read.
