Why dive here
With 185+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - ROSSES MORN offers some of South Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 9-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Rosses Morn*, a fishing vessel that went down in 1999, now rests upright at 39 meters off Ireland's South Coast. She’s a decent size at 23.8 meters long, making for a substantial dive. We often find the bridge area and stern particularly interesting, with various nooks for lobsters and conger eels to tuck into. While the deck is starting to degrade in places, the general structure remains solid. It's a dive that rewards a steady pace, letting you really appreciate how the ocean reclaims these wrecks. Definitely one for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles.
