COMS Phase 2 - The Launch
As you may be aware, COMS Phase 2 is due to be launched in the coming weeks.  This new phase concerns Course administration. We are committed to easing the workload of our very valued volunteers. As most of you will know arranging a course can be a complicated task. COMS Phase 2 will bring the following benefits to Members, Diving Officers and Course Organisers alike.
  • It will allow members to view all courses being run at the touch of a button.
  • It has an inbuilt facility for Diving Officer to recommend candidates to a course at the touch of a button
  • It will significantly increase communication between all involved on a course
  • It will reduce paperwork involved in running a course  
  • It will allow online payment of course fees
This new phase will be launched at Regional information meetings throughout the country. The meetings are open to all Diving Officers, Club Secretaries (or other Committee Member) and Course Organisers. A list of venues and dates follows. You are welcome to attend the venue which is most convenient for you. Please ensure that at least one member from your club attends as we are anxious that no club is left in the dark regarding the important changes embodied in COMS Phase 2.

Women in Snorkelling Course

Congratulations to all of the women who completes the last night of the 2009 women in snorkelling course. This course is designed and run by female snorkel instructors and volunteers. We had a great response to the pilot course run in Finglas Leisure Centre every Wednesday night. This course will continue in 2010.

If you are interested in helping or participating in a similar course in your area, please contact Louise in Head Office

Sheephaven S&R Unit

Members of the Sheephaven Search & Recovery team travelled to Glencolmcille on Monday evening, where they were presented with a cheque for €700 by Club Óige Ghleann (Glencolmcille Youth Club). 

Boys and girls from the Glencolmcille and Meenaneary areas, from 8 years of age and up and are supervised by local youth leaders, parents and family members in the town hall, which has been kitted out with games and activities to keep them busy.  During the year they organised car washes, table quizzes and other fund raising activities and Sheephaven SAC are honoured to receive their donation on behalf of our Search & Recovery unit.
