An experienced, record-breaking cave diver will present a series of lectures and shows on "Cave Diving" next month in Ireland. The Polish diver has accomplished many risky adventures and has made some astonishing breakthroughs in the Irish cave systems.

Of all types of scuba diving, the most dangerous discipline of all, with the highest mortality rate is cave diving, as Timmy Carey explains. And yet the thrill alone is so exciting that many lovers of daring adventures aren't able to resist. On Friday, the 3rd of December 2010 N.U.I.G G.M.I.T Sub Aqua club will be hosting a free lecture on cave diving. The lecture will be presented by Artur Kozlowski and has made a large number of caving breakthroughs in Irish cave systems.

In 2008 Kozlowski broke the British and Irish depth record in a cave at 103 meters and the lecture promises to be very interesting. The venue is D'arcy Thompson (on the main concourse) in N.U.I Galway.

Artur was born in Poland in 1977 and came to Ireland in 2006 with 13 warm water dives under his belt. He started learning cave diving with Welsh cave diving instructor Martyn Farr in 2007. In 2008 Artur explored Pollatoomary and recorded the deepest underwater cave dive in Ireland and Britain, at -103m. Since that time his main interest has shifted to largely unexplored, massive underwater cave systems underlying the Gort Lowlands in Co. Clare. In 2009 he started using a rebreather which resulted in spectacular discoveries in Gort area - including exploring 4km of new underwater passages with Jim Warny. At the same time Artur is actively sustaining traditional style cave diving exploration – dry caving with sidemount sump diving, mostly in challenging caves in the north of the country. Artur is a PADI and DSAT Tec instructor.

This year the exploration in the north saw the Marble Arch System length increased from 4.5km to 12km through various underwater connections.

Admission to these year's shows are free and open to the public so feel free to bring along any friends etc. with an interest in scuba diving and more specifically in cave diving. The lecture will take place on Friday 3rd December at 7pm at D'arcy Thompson, NUI Galway, in Ireland. Sponsors will be accepting donations on the night and all proceeds will go to the Irish Cave Rescue Organisation - ICRO.
