Hello, I’m Ian, the president of DUSAC! I’m here to offer support and advice to the rest of the committee and make sure they all do their jobs 🙂 I’ve been diving since I was a novice with DUSAC all the way back in 2013! I’m always happy to listen to any concerns you may have.

Equipment Officer (EO)

Hi everyone! I’m Johannes, this year’s Equipment Officer. I’ll be doing my best to keep all our gear in top shape so we can spend more time underwater and less time on the surface! If you spot any issues with the equipment or are keen to lend a hand, feel free to drop me an email at dusac.equipments.officer@gmail.com

Assistant Equipment Officers (AEO)

Hi my name is Conall Meehan and this year I am the Assistant Equipments Officer (AEO). My role will be centered around ensuring the club gear is properly serviced and in working order before it is used. I will also be ready to answer any questions members may have regarding gear and provide assistance in the maintenance of their equipment. I will work closely with the Equipments Officer (Johannes) to deliver a great year of diving.

Boat Officer

Hi all, my name is Zia. I’m the boats officer this year meaning I’m doing my best to keep the boats afloat! If you’d like to help out or let me know of any issues with the boats or trailers drop me an email at dusacboatsofficer@gmail.com

Membership Secretary

dusac.membership@gmail.com

Hi, I’m Caelan Farina. I’m a 2nd year Geoscience student who has a why not mentality. I’m the membership officer for Dusac this year. I’m looking forward to being a nuisance and pestering everyone to have their memberships up to date. Changing the world one membership at a time.

Secretary

Hi! I’m Thomson Alex, your Club Secretary for this year! 🤿

I’m a 4th-year PhD student in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and when I’m not working in the lab, you’ll usually find me somewhere underwater (or helping make sure everyone gets there!).

As Secretary, my role includes taking meeting minutes, sharing important information and supporting the committee with our day-to-day admin, and help keep the club organised and connected.

In short, I help keep the paperwork moving so the rest of us can focus on what we’re all here for: diving, learning, and having a great time together! 🌊

Entertainment Officer

Heya folks!!! My name is James Devitt and I am a physics student. I will be this year’s Events Officer. My role will be planning all of the clubs shindigs, shenanigans and all things beverage related. Get ready for all sorts of fun and merriment for the year to come!

Treasurer

dusac.treasurer@gmail.com

Hi! I’m Shane and I will be your Treasurer for this year. I am responsible for budget decisions, tracking transactions and of course harassing you with payment reminder emails. Here is one of the ways we process funds: your membership money guarantees you access to air, scuba equipment, boats and everything diving-related; show up in swimming togs and we’ll provide the rest. We then simply spend the membership money back into repairs and maintenance of this equipment. Because we operate on a zero-sum game, we are able to give you a LOT of bang for your buck compared to commercial diving centres, effectively making us one of the cheapest ways to learn how to scuba dive in Ireland. Welcome to the club! I’m excited to see you on the slip (and your email inbox)

Public Relations Officer

dusac.webmaster@gmail.com

Hi! My name is Lauren Ramsey, and I am a fourth-year zoology student and your new PRO officer. My job is to maintain student outreach, the website, and our Instagram. I’ll be sharing all upcoming events, activities, and updates, so keep an eye out! 🐠🤿

Welfare Officer

dusac.welfare.officer@gmail.com

Hey everyone, I’m Gabrielle, this year’s welfare officer!! I’m here to ensure your time in the club is smooth sailing and to make sure you know that your well-being comes above everything else. There are so many big and small things that can impact our experiences; I’ve aborted dives many, many times because I was too cold, tired, or just wanted to walk on the beach instead. DUSAC has been around a very long time, so we really understand all the challenges, personal and interpersonal, that can interfere with diving. Please never hesitate to come and talk to me about any issue you’re having in the club, either in person or by email.

Ordinary Committee Member

Hi everyone! I’m Sadye and I’m really excited to be joining the Scuba Club committee as the ordinary committee member! I’m looking forward to getting more involved with the club, meeting everyone, and helping out wherever I can.

I’m also here for any queries you may have on any club-related front, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Looking forward to plenty of trips this year!
