 Welcome to Waterford Harbour
Sub Aqua Club's new website. We think it is fitting that we
are entering the information age just as we mark the 40th
Anniversary of the club. At lot has changed in diving over the
last four decades and there will, no doubt, be plenty of more
change to come.
To remember the years past, we have published a collection
of photographs taken by our club members over the years. So
take a nostalgic trip down memory lane in our online Gallery.
