    Hi All,

    A number of people have been advertising that their clubs are open to takeing on new members recently on boards which is great.

    I thought it best to start a sticky to provide one stop shop for all clubs/potential recruits to come and have a look.

    There is ofcourse a couple of requirements. This is for clubs not scuba shops/operators for free advertising. We are developing a community here and not providing a platform for free advertising. Breach of this will result in swift deltion of your post and possibly a ban. If in doubt feel free to PM a mod and check it out first.

    For clubs wishing to post that they are recruiting new members you must provide the following:
    Club name:
    Location:
    Association (CFT/PADI/Other):
    Membership Fees:
    Euquipment needed to join:

    Failure to provide the above information may result in your post being deleted.

    Enjoy!

    Club name: NUIG/GMIT Sub-Aqua Club (www.galwaydiving.com)
    clublogoy.jpg
    Location:
    We train in NUIG on Wednesday nights. Both for lectures and in the NUIG Kingfisher pool afterwards. 8pm-11pm every Wednesday.

    Association (CFT/PADI/Other): CFT (or we can crossover PADI certs)

    Membership Fees:
    €2/year... so just under 4cent/week! :D:D
    There will also be a CFT insurance cost of €50/year (student rate), everyone needs it.

    Equipment needed to join:
    Nothing initially. A group order for fins, booties, mask and snorkel are made in September (~€110). Then a group order for a two piece semi-dry, hood, gloves, weightbelt and weight will be made in December/January (~€330).
    The expensive stuff (BCD/Tanks/Regs) are provided for use free by the club. Air fills are free and we just chip in for petrol costs when going on a trip.

    :) You'll not find a cheaper way to learn to dive! :)

    The training season is September -> March with a lecture or two and pool skills every week. We can only accept members in September so just posting this so students in NUIG or GMIT in September 2011 have a heads up to save for the equipment above! ;)

    Easy. Check cft.ie for a list of all the Irish Underwater council affiliated clubs in Ireland. If you're close to the mid-west, go to burrensubaquaclub.com for details how to join our Co. Clare based one.

    It used to be that easy - but the link has been replaced with a google map with no club info. Frustrating as 90% of our new trainees come from the web. Luckily our website is great - and comes up easily in google (and linked here thanks!) but CFT.ie was a great place to find a club in your area.

    http://www.cft.ie/clubs.htm

    Ive mailed the webadmin - but i recon it could be a while before its back.

    I've been finding it hard to get a response from any diving clubs I contacted. I'm an experienced warm water diver (working on getting the PADI Master Diver qualification). And would like to get involved in club to get CMAS / CFT qualified?

    I am based in the Raheny / Howth Dublin 5 region on the North side. Anyone out there in or can reccomend a club?

    Are there any clubs around Dublin that specialize in snorkeling? There's a few of us that are really keen to try it. Not too much interest in full on diving from all quarters I'm afraid :(. I guess it's the outlay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 277 ✭✭seadeuce


    Give CFT a ring and ask that question. There used to be, might still be, a club for snorkellers in Kildare:
