Dolphins make an appearance on the BBC

Today, Dolphins Sub-Aqua Club appeared on BBC Newsline following a day of filming at Strangford Lough with BBC journalist Paddy Fee.

Paddy joined members for a dive from Portaferry to the Outer Lees. Filming took place both underwater during the dive and above water, with cameras on the boat and aerial footage captured by drone. The result is a short piece showing club diving in Northern Ireland and the coastal environment in which it takes place.
