County Donegal

County Donegal offers rugged Atlantic coastline with oceanic diving along the Wild Atlantic Way. The region features exposed shores, kelp forests, and offshore reefs and wrecks accessible from Letterkenny’s coastal towns and larger ports. Expect currents and cooler water, with visibility variable by season. Diving centers operate along the coast, with site access via boat and some sheltered shore dives in sheltered bays. Marine life includes cod, wrasse, basking sharks in season, and a variety of pelagic species offshore.
