About this site
Dolus Head offers dramatic underwater cliffs and pinnacles teeming with marine life in the Atlantic. Strong currents attract large shoals of fish, while colorful sponges and anemones cover the rocky walls. Visibility is often excellent, revealing deep drop-offs and occasional seals. Suitable for experienced divers due to variable conditions. The rugged coastline above water adds to the wild, remote feel.
