Talk: Frontiers of Diving

Thurs 3rd Nov 2011 MacNeill Theatre (Hamilton building), Trinity College Dublin @ 7.30pm

Jim Warny, a cave diver originally from Belgium, will be making a tribute to our departed friend Artur Kozlowski and describing his achievements in cave exploration in Ireland. Jim was a good friend and co-diver of Artur's, and dived with him in their record traverse of the caves in the Gort lowlands of Galway.

Artur was looking forward to coming back to Trinity where he spoke to us in 2009, sharing his love of exploration, and making many friends. So it was with great shock and sadness that we heard the news that Artur did not return from his last dive.

Many tributes have been paid, both by those that knew Artur well, and by many more who followed his achievements in pioneering cave diving in Ireland. Tributes can be read on the Irish technical diving forum, where Artur was a frequent and well-loved contributor, and on the website of the Speleological Union of Ireland and Irish Cave Rescue organisation here.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
