Tramore Dive Sites


The Metal Man
From the pier head due south along the coastline you will see the three towers of the Metal Man. Go around the big rock and into the little bay just under the towers. Here lies the remains of a wreck called “Oasis”, depth 10-12m, and a good interesting dive.
The wreck is located approx halfway between the big rock and the cliff on the left, it is close to the shore about 10m or so from the rock where it lies in an east-west direction. Plenty of rocks, sea life with not much weed and a good site for beginners and experienced alike. This is a safe area unless there is a south or southeast wind or a sea running.
Newtown Cove
When you reach the Y turn (on the way to the pier) take the right fork and drive along the coast road for about 1.5km and you will come to large parking area on your left, this is Newtown Cove. A shore dive, easily accessible with steps down to the pier, then ladders to the water. It is a well frequented bathing area. Snorkel out to the mouth of the cove and take a bearing either left or right. Either is a good interesting dive for beginners and experienced. Depth 10m, large rocks crevices, plenty of weed, plenty of sea life.
If you go right (south) head between the large rock and the cliff, when you come out the other side you can make a large circle and come back into the cove again.
If you go left, go down the coast for about 200m and exit at the Guillamine swimming area. Caution is needed going this way if you are close to the shore as people fish from the rocks and cast out lines up to 15m or so and you can get hooked up. Much the same type of bottom and depth as the other side.
Green Island
This is not really an island but a large rock outcrop about 500m up the coast from the Metal Man Bay. If there is any wave action you can see a watersprout coming from the middle of the rock. Depth 10-15m, good dive, plenty of sea life, large rocks and crevices. Thirty metres can be obtained a little further out but it is on sand.
