Friday last saw four newly qualified PADI Openwater Divers  earn their stripes. Congratulations to Matthew Buckley, Shane Mannion, Ronan Creane and John Brittain. These four completed the last dive of their course at Doonee Beacon, and really enjoyed the summer dive conditions.

Here are some photos from the last dive of their Openwater Course.

Ronan & Matthew give 'diver thumbs up'!

Written by Flann O’Brien, it features a diver and an octopus as its protagonists.  Follow the link for something entertaining to read with your morning coffee. Enjoy!
