Tragic diver had fear of heights

THE Polish diver who lost his life as he pushed out the boundaries in underwater cave exploration in this country had a fear of heights.

Artur Kozlowski, who died while exploring a cave in south Co Galway last week, was renowned as one of the leading divers operating in this country.

The 33 year old had been credited with bravely exploring uncharted underwater caves, but his funeral mass in Co Galway was told yesterday by his sister Matgorzata that while her brother knew no fear in his hobby, ironically he was scared of heights.
