Brandon Bay

Brandon Bay is among the best dive sites in Ireland with the Gulf Stream keeping the water relatively warm regardless of the weather – always a plus! The Maharee Islands, also known as the Seven Hogs, are home to a pod of dolphins that are more than happy to swim with divers. Ilaunnabarnagh is a nearby island that has its own colony of seals that don’t mind humans coming in among them.

Brandon Cliff face is a popular diving spot in this area as are the sheer drops found off the Skellig Islands. Basking sharks, pilot whales, minke whales, huge tuna, and even larger sunfish also inhabit this unspoiled area. Coming to Brandon Bay, you will be immersed in the blue ocean, observe with your own eyes, and touch the colorful coral reefs and even swimming sea creatures. The ideal time to visit this place is from February to September.
