#DIVING - Naas Sub Aqua Club is looking for new members from the East coast and the Midlands as it prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the Leinster Leader reports.

The Co Kildare-based diving club is one of the most active in Ireland, with 40 members regularly going below the surface on weekly excursions from Coal Harbour, Slade Harbour or Kilmore Quay throughout the year.

Summer trips are also organised to locations as far afield as Gozo in the Mediterranean and Cuba in the Caribbean.

Novices are welcome, and anyone interested in getting into diving will be trained in full SCUBA equipment on Thursday evenings at the Curragh Pool over the winter, with open water dives set to resume in February 2013.
