Chairman and Webmaster ~ Mike

The position of chairman is purely ornamental - no real power at all but requires subtlety to keep the meandering flock in line. Having grown up on cinnamon toast, board games and choppers with ribbons, bannana seats and sissy bars Mike brings a breath of fresh air to the club. Like Ronnie, he’s relentlessly passionate and focused about promoting the club. Has done fantastic work on our web site and its probably the best diving club site within Ireland and the UK. Behind that Barrack Obama facade he’s like a 12 year old that can’t wait to get into the water but most of his weekend is spent looking for Hunter & Mohawk, his trusty hounds. A real team player and asset to any Club or organization.

Secretary ~ Emma

The club secretary keeps the rest of the club in line during meetings and keeps us on the Agenda, there's no small talk here and like a silent director controls the meetings with her discrete subtlety. She has a passion for doodling, mutts, picnics and ‘god help us’ cases and is rumored to be an Irish dancing instructor. Always on the pulse with diving related stories and programs, she keeps you informed even when the events are finished. If you are really nice you might get a scone or some homemade jam on a dive site as well. An experienced and well respected diver, Emma adds colour to the dive site with her knitted tea cosy she uses as a hat.

Treasurer ~ Paul

Paul’s passion is numbers. He keeps the club on the straight and narrow where finances are concerned and he is rumored to have been coached by Eddy Hobbs. Once while reciting the 9 times tables and calculating the compound interest on his abacus he lost his grip and fell off the boat, hence the nickname "Overboard". Paul is passionate about finance and his methodical approach to finances is greatly appreciated.

Diving Officer ~ Brian

The DO advises us on what rules we are to turn a blind eye to and what rules are for other clubs. Historically DO's are all on a power trip but eventually they burn out or go mad. Ours is often seen shouting orders at dive site and he can be distinguished by his unusual head gear used to hide the fact that his hair is gradully moving south and now appears to be comming out of his nose and ears. Know locally as Captain Underpants he looks like a loveable cuddly rogue but this can be deceptive - approach with care but never without your logbook.

The diving officer looks after the planning of the season's Dive Plan, keeps a close eye on the weather and is ready to send out a text at a moments notice to organize a dive. All club members should contact the DO if they plan to dive - wether it is with the club or not. A highly experienced instructor Brian is the nucleus of the club and is always available to assist, run or organise any diving activity, he's one of the most respected instructors within the region.

Training Officer ~ Dave

Who said learning can't be fun? Our TO is always smiling but this is believed to be trapped wind, approach with care and never with a naked flame.

Training officers iron out all the bad habits you were taught in previous years and prepare you for the worst as typically this will happen sooner rather than later. TO's work on the principle of Murphy's law and are often seen praying to St. Jude. Our current TO is well versed in this law and some say he knows Murphy personally. Often mistaken as Bernie in Chop Shop and known locally as Diive.

Equipment Officer ~ Johnny

All Equipment Officers will tell you that members can break, buckle, bend and destroy equipment by just looking at it and our motley crew keep Johnny working around the clock and it's just as well as he’s no time left to give out. Never short of a spare fin, extra bottle or second hand Speedo’s, Our EO keeps our equipment in tip top shape. Next time you see him bent over the trailer, be sure to say hello and lend a hand after all he can’t drink like he used to do and this job would drive anyone to drink . Our EO is too acquainted with Murphy and St. Jude.

Assistant Equipment Officer ~ Ciaran

Too afraid to experience Murphy’s Law at first hand A-EO plays good cop bad cop. Don't let the "silver" hair fool you. This cat still has all the moves although walking off the end of the pier in Kilkee put a dent in his stride. While the title appears to be non-functioning he actually provides a great deal of advice to Johnny H and lends a great deal of experience to all aspects of the clubs equipment, although he’s yet to master the mobile phone or a watch for that matter. An Instructor with vast experience in the art of Home Brewing he also fancies himself as a freelance reporter but with stiff competition the journalism can only get better. Known locally as Chinky Chernobyl - I kid you not.

Assitant Training Officer ~ Peter

Not just your average assistant or average snorkeler for that matter. After an accident at the local chemical factory Peter began to grow gills and webbed feet at the age of 7 and now looks more like a cross between a ninja and the man in the Cadbury milk tray ad. He runs an impressive training regime in the pool at UL during the winter months. He’s passionate about snorkeling and is highly respected and a fantastic asset to have in any club. Everyone is encouraged to join Peter in UL and hopefully improve your breathing.

Public Relations ~ Toni

The PRO is there to step in and quell heated confrontations between the older members of the club and the general public. Prepared to use force if necessary and never leaves her spear gun out of sight. Its also rumored Toni has the largest postage stamp collection in Ireland and some say her flowing locks are styled on 'Ralph' the cute dog from the Muppets. Having held pivotal roles within the club Toni experience is highly respected and valued.
