Some brave souls ventured into the murky waters of 2 mile gate yesterday, with their 1st introduction to Boat procedures and snorkelling.  Noel, Jason, Kieran & David, got their suits wet for the 1st time, Mike Kiely popped along to do his fitness test in open water, while Richie got some boat time under the supervision of John & Dave.  Nice day despite the breeze. Funnily enough, therre was a good pull in the water when we initially got in, but as we headed closer to shore, the guys had gotten uese to the gear, gotten over the initial shock of the cold drop of water down their backs. In no time, a  few attempts at snorkel diving were been made.

Well done to all and get these few snorkels done and speed up the move towards scuba.

So, any1 interest in Diving Portroe on Thursaday can let me know, meanwhile, Diving plans for next weekend will be communicated as normal by the end of this week. 

The Boat will be taken out of the water on Friday for it's service.

BTW, John Hassettand Dave Ryan have overhauled and serviced the Club trailer. It proved to be a very difficult and time consuming task which probably will merit a another change of bearings, mid season. The club will have to expense some funds to make this task easier. Options are been considered at the moment.

So a special words of thanks on behalf of the Club membership to Joh, Dave & Richie who ensure that Club gets it's diving activities off to a good start for 2011.
