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.
