Why dive here
With 169+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and octopuses - Biraghty Mor offers some of West Coast's richest diving. Water sits around 9°C.
Biraghty Mor drops to 33 metres, offering a decent wall dive for intermediate divers. We often see conger eels tucked into crevices, and colourful anemones cling to the rock face. The site is exposed, so pick a calm day for the best conditions and visibility. It’s a solid choice for those looking for typical Irish coastal diving away from the more sheltered bays.
