Strangford Lough Narrows (The Dorn)

Site Overview

The Strangford Narrows, including the Dorn, host one of the world’s strongest tidal races, but at slack water divers drop into deep channels walled with dead-men’s fingers, plumose anemones, massive spider crabs and scallops. The biodiversity is outstanding and the timing is everything, making this a bucket-list site for advanced divers who love tidal-flow diving. Strict planning and a local guide are essential. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and a respect for the power of the Atlantic, and remains a favourite among Irish divers.
