Diamond Rocks

One of two Irish dive sites voted among Europe’s top 10, it gets its name from the quartz crystals that glisten when the sun shines on the rocks. Diamond Rocks is a famous biosphere and eco-tourism area not only in Ireland but also in the world. This place attracts tourists because it can be said that this is one of the most biologically diverse places in Ireland, possessing many coral reefs and rare marine life.

This dive has been compared favorably with the famous Yongala. The bay is sheltered from the Atlantic, which is always welcome. The landscape is all rocks and gullies, visibility is fabulous and that is tremendous news because there is life all around. In particular, the Duggerna Rock reef is mind-blowing, its cracks and crevices filled with invertebrates. Little wonder the bottlenose dolphins and seals appear so happy in this paradise.
