Snorkelling

There was a great turn out at Sandycove for the latest snorkel on Sunday 29th December with 24 members braving the all but perfect weather conditions.Trainees are now one snorkel closer to getting their first dive.

Pool training has now resumed in Naas Pool since Saturday 14th January 2006 at 7pm.  Last set of Trainee lecturers took place Sunday 22nd January in Ambassador Hotel. Our annual New Years day Snorkel at Digby Bridge went ahead as scheduled with 18 Naas Sub-Aqua Club members taking the plunge

This year there was a collection in aid of the R.N.L.I. on New Years Day at Digby Bridge. Billy O'Connors family had requested a donation to the R.N.L.I. instead of flowers so please give generourly on the day. We never know the day we will be in need of their assistance ourselves.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Marian Fadian & Brendan Flynn who got engaged over the Christmas.

Billy O'Connor

The removal of Billy O'Connor took place Monday evening,12th December  from "Cooney's" Funeral Home New Ross with equiem Mass at 12.00 on Tuesday, 13th December at the local parish church followed by burial in the nearby graveyard. 

It was requested by the family, that they wished to have family flowers only, but  if anyone wished, they could make a donation to the RNLI

Our thoughts are with the families of Billy O'Connor & Pat Colfer who were missing in the waters off Kilmore Quay since Tuesday and Thursday last.Billy's body was recovered on Saturday afternoon by Navy divers,he was found 20mt from the wreck of the "Rising Sun".


Naas Sub Aqua carries out much of its diving in the area around Fethard-on-sea, Billy's "home pitch" for diving. Billy, as a member of Hook Sub Aqua Club, has always been most helpful to our club through helping us with breakages, lost gear and even as simple a thing as an on-the-spot weather report - which often saved us a two hour car journey.


Twelve members of Naas Sub Aqua Club were on hand with two boats during the search operations for the two men on Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th December 2005 Unfortunately we were not successful, however, the Club will continue to help in any way we can if requested.

We provided two RIB's with crew again last weekend (Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th December 2005) to help with the surface search from Saltee Islands to Tusker Rock for Pat Colfer.

Our hearts go out to both families at this most difficult time.
