Well done to the candidates who completed the Search and Recovery course held by Kilkenny Sub Aqua on Saturday 6^th and Sunday 7^thDecember. The course was well attended with 13 candidates from the Hook, Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford clubs. Saturday was spent in the clubhouse with lectures and practical workshops on search equipment. Sunday was spent in the river Nore in the shadow of Kilkenny castle performing different search techniques. The cold conditions and low visibility did nothing to hamper the enthusiasm of the candidates. The new SAR divers are a welcome addition to the South East region
