At bottom with Titanic was a high

RORY GOLDEN runs his diving school, Flagship Scuba, from an old CIE ferry docked in the Grand Canal basin in Dublin.

“This is the ferry that brought people to and from the Aran Islands,” says Golden. “It was decommissioned in the early 1980s and they brought it here. They were going to make a maritime museum out of it, but that didn’t happen and so we use it. I call it extreme recycling.”
