About this site
This dive site off Scariff Island features dramatic underwater topography with towering rock formations known as The Hedges. The Atlantic waters host abundant marine life, including colorful sponges, anemones, and schools of pollock. Strong currents attract pelagic species, making it ideal for drift diving. Visibility varies but often rewards divers with clear glimpses of the rugged underwater cliffs. Suitable for experienced divers due to challenging conditions.
