*** Leading Diver 2025 ***
12 candidates travelled to the beautiful village of Portmagee in west Kerry. They were greeted with poor weather and a big swell which would certainly be a good test of their dive leadership skills, as they completed the final module of the Diver 3* programme.
The Candidates were from, Kilkee sac, UL sac, UCC sac, Blackwater sac, Kish sac, Dalkey Scubadivers, Mullingar sac, Offaly sac, Inishowen sac, Sheephaven sac and Rosses Snorkelling club.
All 12 candidates were successful. The Leading Diver grade is the third stage in a process of diver training offered by Diving Ireland and trains a diver to safely lead groups of divers of all experience levels. A successful candidate will have excellent organising and incident management skills and will be capable of leading dives in varying conditions, up to a max depth of 45m.
A big congratulations to all candidates who passed. Diving Ireland are very lucky to have gained such excellent new leaders.
