West Cork diver’s remarkable discoveries with Ireland’s second commercial submarine

A renowned diver hopes to unlock the mysteries behind several Irish shipwrecks after acquiring a submarine capable of exploring unimaginable depths.

This will be the second commercial submersible launched by the West Cork-based former naval service diver John Kearney who has been at the centre of some of the country’s most complex search and recovery dive operations.
