Cork Sub Aqua Club

One of the swimmers passes the Irish Navy base at Haulbowline near the end of the Blackrock to Cobh swim, 30 September 2007. Most swimmers were in the river for about 3 hours, and each was covered by a kayak. There was one RIB to three kayaks. Cork SAC provided a RIB. Steve, Rene, and Dave took turns at driving and monitoring the swimmers. The fitness, hardiness and endurance of the swimmers is impressive. The kayakers must constantly check that their swimmers are not lapsing into a sort of semi-conscious autopilot due to hypothermia, by talking to them from time to time.
Later that day we had a dive at the wreck of the Celtic, near Roches Point.
