About this site
Port Doon offers rugged Atlantic dive sites with dramatic underwater cliffs and kelp forests. Strong currents bring nutrient-rich waters, attracting large schools of pollock and occasional basking sharks. The rocky seabed features crevices hiding lobsters and crabs. Visibility varies with tides, averaging 5-10 meters. Cold water diving year-round, best suited for intermediate divers due to challenging conditions. Wrecks nearby add historical interest. The remote location ensures uncrowded dives with wild, untouched marine environments.
