The Donegal Gaeltacht is a must for all divers. The Donegal coastline
is awash with the most beautiful and spectacular dive sites. Divers of
all grades will find a dive to suit them, no matter whether they want
boat or shore diving. The more experienced diver will be able to
tackle most of the many wrecks which lie around the Donegal
coastline, especially in the northwest region, but there are plenty of
dive sites for those with less experience also. The most popular dive
sites tend to be near easy launching points. Depending on the quality
of boat used, there are offshore sites, which can be reached in calm
weather conditions, such as Tory, Inishbofin and Arranmore Islands.
These can also be reached by a regular ferry, but usually only in
clement weather. The more popular, and practical sites near places
such as Teelin and Malinbeg in South West Donegal, Burtonport and
Aranmore, off the west of the county, along with Downings and Malin
Head in the North, would give any keen diver more than enough
choice for a week or two.
