Harvest Festival Carrickedmond
Background
Last Spring all of the Midland Sub Aqua Clubs were involved in an extensive search and recovery operation in the River Inny in the Kenagh-Ballymahon area. The local communities in acknowledgement of this have now come together to organise this Harvest Field Day whose sole purpose is to raise funds for the Sub Aqua Clubs involved.
Representatives of the various clubs involved have been attending recent meetings for the event and will be actively participating with stewarding on the day.

The Chairman and Committee of the Athlone Sub Aqua Club encourage all our members to support this admirable community iniative
The club is active all year round and provides training from beginner up to instructor level. The qualifications awarded are recognized internationally through their equivalence with CMAS grades. This allows the qualifications and experience of Athlone divers trained by CFT to be recognized worldwide. Athlone scuba divers are active in the community and voluntarily provide a team for underwater searches when requested and provide rescue cover for water events like sailing and swimming.
