Why dive here
With 169+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and octopuses - Newfee offers some of West Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 8-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Newfee, on Ireland's West Coast, offers a typical Atlantic shore dive. You’ll find a mix of rocky seabed and kelp forests, with the chance to spot conger eels in crevices and crab species scuttling across the bottom. Visibility can be hit or miss, often dependent on recent weather. It's a site best suited for local divers looking for a straightforward entry and a chance to get wet, rather than a destination dive.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
