Between black knob and red head going through the village on the way to the harbour you will see a large building (once a convent now a restaurant) immediately in front of you just before you descend into the harbour. Take the right turn here, just at the back of the restaurant there is a dirt track on your left, follow this down to a flat area of limited parking, the flat rocks are now below you. This dive is not to be attempted in rough weather as tere is a wash up and down the rocks, but on a good day it is a lovely dive (depth 10-12m) with plenty of sea life, big rocks, sea weed – a nice dive for beginners

This is definitely a boat dive. It is about 20min. out of Dunmore in a RIB. Some of the local clubs have marker buoys on the rock. Contact a local club if you want to dive this site, if the marker is not there you need sonar to locate the rock as there is no surface evidence of it. Depth 20-35m – an excellent dive, plenty of sea life and not much weed. It is a large plateau of rock approx 15m off the bottom, you have a very enjoyable dive at 20m all around the top of the rock. Experienced divers only.

A boat dive, exit the harbour, around the lighthouse and head west along the coast for about 1km you will see the water breaking on the top of the rock on a full tide and the rock on a low tide. This is an excellent dive, depth 10m to possibly 20m, on the seaward side of the rock. Long gullies run parallel to the coastline and there is abundant sea life, a very enjoyable dive.
During the half tides there is a bit of a current running west (1-1.5knots) up as far as Brownstown Head, particularly from mid water to the surface. Go down one gully, cross over the top and back the next gully to the rock to do your decom. stops, for beginners and experienced.

Definitely a boat dive. Again another plateau of rock west of Three Mile Rock and to the seaward. It is about 30 minutes out of Dunmore East with the same boat as above. With depths in the range 20-45m, an excellent dive with the same type of rock as Three Mile Rock. Sonar will be required to find it as this rock is not normally marked. With both of these dives you can get a westward run on the surface during half tides. In these areas the sea is nearly always a little “lumpy”. Experienced dives only.
