Donegal Point

★★★★★ (96)

Found in a beautiful inlet along the coast is a peaceful kelp forest starting at 7m. After dropping into the kelp forest the dive follows a wall down to a max depth of 30m where you can spot an abundance of life in the cracks and overhangs as you swim through a airy cavern back around to the anchored boat.

Adorned with plenty of invertebrate life including crabs, lobsters, anemones, sponges, sea fans and nudibranchs. Wrasse, pollock, butterfish and gurnards are commonly found here too.
