Snorkelling
We are beginning the new dive season. While its still a bit too cold to dive, we have continued to remain active as a Club over the winter months. We have many members join our weekly snorkel group, hitting the waters to say fit, getting out at the weekend for a refreshing swim to start the day.

Search & Recovery Unit
Our Search and Recovery Unit members have remained actively dived up throughout the year. They continue training together on a regular basis.
Their ability to operate on a voluntary basis is due to support that we receive from the generosity of the community, who have been supporting for over 40 years.
