 Re: Diving in Dublin Bay The weather here recently and even today has been unfavourable for diving and as such the visibility at the moment is pretty bad. It's very silty and you would definitely need a torch for day time diving. Anything past 20m and consider it a night dive!. We usually dive off Dalkey Island and The Muglins next to it, so my experiences are with this area only but I can imagine it's pretty similar North Dublin also. If you have time, make the effort and "Go West", the whole Atlantic Coast is great for diving with greater landscapes, wildlife, variety and great visibility. Sorry for the bad news.

I tried some diving out of Dun Laoghaire a couple of times last year and wasn't very impressed: poor viz, poor conditions and bad (tide) planning by the operator. I wouldn't be bothered repeating the experience. |
