Killary Harbour

Killary Harbour is one of the best dive sites in Ireland and is a natural fjord and normally offers excellent visibility even at a maximum depth of around 45m, though most of the attractions are further up. The location is otherworldly with the Mweelrea Mountains in the north, and the Maum Turk Mountains and The Twelve Pins (also known as The Twelve Bens) providing a stunning backdrop to the south. They also supply the type of shelter conducive to winter diving. Dense kelp forests and abundant marine life abound, from conger eels, wrasse, lobsters, and pollock.

Diving activities are extremely developed in Killary Harbour, many visitors have experienced sharing that they must definitely participate in scuba diving activities here otherwise it will be extremely flawed. Dolphins and whales are not uncommon either. Grey seals come out to play late in the summer but you need to be alert as they have a propensity for biting fins!
