The Booroo

The Burroo, with its incredibly diverse and abundant marine life, is truly one of the most spectacular dive sites in the Isle of Man. In fact, so abundant is the life here that finding a single square centimetre of bare bedrock in areas exposed to the fast flow is a challenge. It is consistently rated as one of the best in the British Isles by experienced divers, underwater photographers, and marine biologists.

Aside from the underwater landscape, the area is home to a variety of fish species and other marine life. Burro is unique due to its enthralling gullies and diverse marine life. It's as if someone has placed furry white-polystyrene mini Henry Moore sculptures among the rocks. The Burroo's tidal streams are among the most dangerous on the Isle of Man. Overfalls, up currents, and eddies are all too common. As the sea plies tumultuously, animals living in this environment receive a deluge of suspended, planktonic organisms from the passing water.
