An Bóthar Buí

An Bóthar Buí sits in County Galway along Ireland’s Atlantic-facing coast, near the Celtic Sea. It’s not a major coastal dive hub, but the surrounding region offers limited dive access via local centers and small sheltered sites. Nearby freshwater options include the single quarry-like lake, Lough Furnace, used by some local clubs for training. Expect temperate waters, moderate visibility, and typical temperate Atlantic marine life along inlets and bays when diving closer to Galway Bay. For practical diving, use local centers in the wider region for courses, equipment rental, and day trips to nearby reefs and wrecks along the coast.
