September 2, 2023 – September 7, 2023
The Isle of Man coastline is a major draw for lots of visitors to the Island. With a range of environments, walking paths and locations to view wildlife.
The Island's location in the Irish Sea can be treacherous for ships and the Island is estimated to have 1500 shipwrecks in Manx waters. This in turn makes the Manx coast a highly popular destination for divers looking to experience some great locations and dive spots during their holiday.
In addition to the wrecks the Isle of Man also has a tidal range of up to 8m. This creates an ideal feeding ground for marine creatures such as Basking Sharks and Dolphins. As a result, divers have an ideal opportunity to spot some of the more unusual wildlife just off Manx Shores, the plentiful marine life here makes it somewhat a challenge to find a square centimetre of bare bedrock.
It has been said that underwater photographers and marine biologists have acclaimed it to be one of the best in the British Isles.
You will have no trouble spotting conger eels, wrasse including cuckoo, ballan and corkwing hiding in nooks and crannies. At night the dive site comes alive with squat lobsters feeding along the seabed and if you're lucky, you will see several small bright orange octopus.
