We are a Mayo based sports diving club, affiliated to C.F.T. (Comhairle F Thuinn), otherwise known as the Irish Underwater Council. C.F.T. is itself affiliated to C. M. A. S. (The World Diving Federation) which was originally founded by the likes of the legendary Jacques Cousteau. The club has been in existence since 1981 and was originally based in the Castlebar/Westport area. 

Over the years the membership broadened to a countywide base and indeed the emphasis in the membership strengthened in the North Mayo region around Ballina, where most of the diving took place. Now, however, we have reached a balance of a truly countywide organisation with members in Ballina, Castlebar, Crossmolina, Kilalla, Swinford, Ballinrobe and Newport. There are presently 50 members and we have approx 60% male and 40% female members.  The club recruits new members annually and trains them to the highest standards, following all of the rules and guidelines of  C.F.T.

The club also has within its ranks a Search and Recovery Unit. This is a totally voluntary unit which responds to requests from the statutory bodies and from local communities to assist in search and recovery operations.

The club is in possession of 3 compressors (based in Castlebar and Ballina) and 3 boats2 R.I.B.s (Rigid Inflatible Boats) and 1 Zodiac inflatible. The inflatible has proved a great workhorse throughout the years and has recently had a new engine fitted. The RIBs with their 200 h.p. and 130 h.p. engines really open up those spectacular divesites around the North Mayo coastline. The club is blessed with some of the most spectacular dive locations on the West Coast of Europe.
