About this site
This wreck dive off the Saltee Islands offers an exciting exploration of a 19th-century iron barque. Resting in 30-meter depths, the Invercauld's broken hull teems with marine life—colorful anemones, curious wrasse, and occasional conger eels. Strong Atlantic currents bring excellent visibility, revealing scattered artifacts amid the wreckage. The site suits experienced divers, with its deep water and occasional surge. Nearby reefs host lobsters and pollock, adding to the dive's appeal. The dramatic history of this shipwreck, combined with rich biodiversity, makes it a standout Irish dive.
