The Dives
1. The Shore Dive (Rossroe Pier)
There are two ways of approaching the shore
dive. You can walk over the hill, east of the harbour following the track,
and begin the dive at the little natural harbour about 100 metres east of
Rossroe point. The bottom drops away immediately from the shore, so you can
head north to attain required depth (30m is easily attainable). You can then
head west parallel to the shore, ending at the harbour. There are some nice
reefs at various depths along here. If you don't fancy the walk, you can
start and finish in the harbour. |
2. The North Shore
Taking a boat to the north shore, approx.
1500m, opens up several dives. This is the steeper side, and there are many
dropoff's to 30M and deeper. The walls here are home to an abundance of life. |
3. Inisbearna
Inisbearna can be dived on the North and
Eastern sides. There are steep drop-offs on the North side, with depths in
excess of 40M. The Eastern side is probably the nicest, with depths
around 20-25M, and home to some large conger eels. |
The Islands
There are several islands just outside
the harbour. Doonee and Inisdegil Mor are easily reachable with nice
diving between 20M and 30M. |
