About this site
Dalkey Sound is the channel separating Dalkey Island from the coast at Dalkey, a coastal suburb south of Dublin city in County Dublin, Leinster. The sound is a well known local dive spot along this stretch of the Irish Sea coastline, with boats and shore access typically arranged from the Dalkey or Coliemore Harbour area. Divers in this part of the Irish Sea contend with tidal movement through the channel given its position between the island and the mainland.
