GORT CAVE BODY RECOVERY LIKELY TO TAKE SEVERAL DAYS

Date Published: 09-Sep-2011

The recovery operation for the body of Polish diver Artur Kozlowski in Gort is likely to continue into early next week.

He was an experienced diver who failed to resurface from Pollonora cave near Kiltartan after going on an exploratory dive on Monday afternoon.

A specialist UK diving team has completed four dives since yesterday and will resume the operation again tomorrow morning.

Gardai say while significant progress has been made in moving the body, the depth of the search and resulting decompression times are challenging.
