St,Patricks day is always a fun day out with our members dressing up. We will be joining in the parades again this year in both Ballina and Crossmolina with our floats and boats in tow. Be sure to keep an eye out for us.
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.
We ran two Try-A-Dive sessions on
Ballina Swimming Pool -
Castlebar -
We had a large turnout on each date, with great excitement all round as many members of the public got to experience diving for the first time.
Some have now joined the Club and are mid way through our Trainnee Course.

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.
