About this site
Tormore is Ireland's highest sea stack, located on a stretch of Atlantic coastline near Rossan Point in Ireland, characterised by sharply angled cliffs and massive sea stacks that reflect the full force of the open ocean.
The site is a steep wall dive reaching a maximum depth of 40 m, where the base of the wall meets beautiful boulders and gullies. The exposure to the Atlantic means the walls are densely covered in jewel anemones, plumose anemones, and dahlia anemones, with the relief and energy of the location adding to the underwater drama.
Marine life at Tormore is varied and abundant: wrasse, scorpion fish, large ballan wrasse, pollock, dog fish, crab, lobster, nudibranchs, and sea hares have all been recorded here. On at least one occasion a buddy pair encountered a pair of dolphins underwater, with more dolphins seen at the surface.

As a more exposed site, conditions at Tormore are subject to Atlantic swell and energy, and it is best suited to divers comfortable with open-water wall diving in challenging environments.
