GLOBAL DIVE RESCUE

Presented by Jim Warny, Professional Diver

18 September



Jim Warny was born in Belgium in 1982. He started diving in 1997 and soon got attracted by the technical side of the sport. He modified and built custom diving equipment to enable him to progress deeper in to caves. He has participated in multiple expeditions in France, Italy and recently in the Huautla cave system in Mexico. But when Jim moved to Ireland in 2004 he truly found his calling in the dark caves and resurgences in the Galway/Clare region.



Following in the footsteps of previous explorers Jim extended explorations in various sites amounting to many kilometres of new cave. One of these being the longest sump in Ireland amounting in a 2.9Km.

He continues to be very active in the Irish caving and cave diving scene. In June of 2018, he was part of the team of British cave divers who played a leading role in the 2018 Tham Luang Thailand cave rescue.
