    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Twin Peaks, off Ireland's west coast, presents a distinctive dive site with two prominent rock formations rising from the seabed. The site offers a chance to explore gullies and cracks where lobsters often hide, alongside various crabs and anemones clinging to the rock faces. This dive is best suited for those comfortable with temperate water diving and looking for a rugged, less-frequented Irish seascape.

    Safety Notes

    Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
