About this site
The Head lies along the Sligo coastline in the Connacht region of northwest Ireland, an area shaped by exposed Atlantic headlands and rocky shoreline. Diving in this part of Sligo typically involves boat access from local harbors out to the coastal points and reefs. This wreck site reaches a maximum depth of around 16 metres, and divers have reported nudibranchs and octopus among the marine life on it.
