The Cliffs Moher

The cliffs of moher have a couple of lovely dive sits just under the cliffs

 The Atlantic Diving School has been diving under the cliff ts for the last couple of years and has a fantastic diving site under the pinnacle.

The people that visit the Cliffs just cannot get the scale of the Cliffs only from a boat when your looking up will you get the size of it.

There is also one of the biggest waves for surfing just under the cliffs that only the locals on there jets skies go out to the big wave.

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top Visitor attractions. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometers over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare.

O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of the  Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.

The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988 and as a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) under the EU Birds Directive in 1989.

Included within the designated site are the cliffs, the cliff-top maritime grassland and heath, and a 200 meter zone of open water, directly in front of the cliffs to protect part of the birds' feeding area. The designation covers 200 hectares and highlights the area's importance for wildlife.

 Keep clear of these unless you have appropriate training.

 B y boats, all the Aran Island sites can be reached from here. The local dives sites are very exposed and can only be dived in very good conditions.
 

Doolin Harbour.
    There is lovely shore diving just to the North of Crab Island. big car park by the campsite and proceed towards Doolin Point . The area around and to the east of the point is the best. Maximum  depth is abou 22M, and the area is home to a great variety of fish.

There are a number of caves here which eventually go for miles in under The Burren. Entries/exits are anywhere along the shore. Again, this is a fair weather only site. Also beware of ferries which can be very frequent during summer months.
