Scuba Diving in Donegal, Ireland, Europe

Reader Reviews:

Dive Site: St. John's Point

Location: St. John's Point, Dunkineely, Co. Donegal, Ireland

Description: Reef / wall

Depth: 30 metres (1080 feet)

Visibility: 20 + metres (65 feet)

Rating: ****

Several dives are available from the same location. Leaving the jetty by the lighthouse, swim out 80m and you drop down to 23m. From there you can set off east or west. Whichever dive you choose to do, you can follow the wall back to the inlet and do your safety stop while finning over a kelp forest filled with life. Nearby there is a beach suitable for launching a RIB and a sheltered area suitable for trainee divers. There is a small wreck on the northern side of the point at 49m. A very popular dive site.

I've been here a few times to the lighthouse - a great spot, beach is good to leave the children at in the summer as well while your diving.
