Three members of Naas Sub-Aqua Club travelled to Fermoy for the Regional Search & Recovery course which was run on 7^th & 8^th February 2009.

Barry Lawler, Andrew Murray & Pascal Michel completed the course which brings to ten the total number of Naas SAC members now qualified in Search & Recovery. The other seven members of Naas SAC completed the S&R course in April 2007. It also included the Full Face Mask course which was a great opportunity to try out four different full face masks. The masks sampled were the AGA Interspiro, Drager Nova, Kirby Morgan & the Ocean Reef. The Aga Interspiro mask with Buddy phone two way communications was used for the S&R Course.

Both courses were hosted by the Blackwater Sub-Aqua Club. Our special thanks to Timmy Carey, Dave Carey, Gabby Hayes & the Blackwater SAC for accommodating us & running this course for the Dublin South region.

 

With ten members now qualified, this will enable Naas SAC to set up an S&R Unit, available to assist in underwater searches.
