The Magic beneath the Waves

By Paul Byrne

I’m fundraising for the RNLI to help power brave lifesavers to the rescue

Every day, around the coasts of the UK and Ireland, RNLI volunteers are kitting up to answer desperate calls for help. But they can’t launch to the rescue without support. The RNLI relies on donations to fund the kit and training volunteers need to save lives at sea and return safely home. I’m fundraising to help them stay ready to rescue.

The Magic Beneath the Waves

Monday 12th Oct

Celebrating our 50th anniversary, Dalkey Scubadivers and the RNLI are presenting “The Magic Beneath the Waves”, an exhibition of photographs that will showcase the work of award-winning underwater photographers from Ireland, celebrating the beauty, fragility, and mystery of the world beneath the waves.

The event will raise funds for the RNLI and Dalkey Scubadivers. The RNLI is well known for saving lives at sea. Dalkey Scubadivers carry out Search and Recovery operations where, sadly, people go missing at sea or in inland waterways. In addition, the club’s instructors provide their services free of charge, making the sport of scuba diving as accessible as possible to anyone who wants to give it a go.

The exhibition aims to draw diverse audiences from marine enthusiasts and conservationists to art collectors and families and to spark public conversation about ocean stewardship. The programme includes talks from the RNLI on water safety and from members of Dalkey Scubadivers and Green Ocean Foundation on ocean conservation, ecology and the photographs themselves. The exhibition will also feature information on our “Try a Dive” programme.

As one of Ireland’s premier maritime hubs, Dún Laoghaire is home to a community that lives and breathes the sea. We believe the exhibition will bring the underwater world to the surface. resonate strongly with your family and enhance your appreciation of Ireland’s coastal heritage.
