Hook Head

Located at the most southerly point of Co Wexford, the Hook Peninsular is steeped in the Norman period of Irish history. The lighthouse is one of the oldest still operating in the world for there has been a continual beacon here since medieval times. There are numerous excellent shore dives to be found and although the depths are generally shallow, the underwater scenery is very dramatic owing to the formation of the limestone below.

Hook Head is a great site for beginners and experienced divers, provided you stay close to shore there are few currents to worry about and the peninsular offers a choice of locations East or West depending on wind direction. There are a number of small wrecks and swim throughs which can also be reached from the shore.

We will be running a weekend to Hook on Saturday 30th April and Sunday 1st May

We are planning 2 dives for Saturday and then an overnight stay close to the village of Wellington Bridge where there are plenty of good B&Bs (contact us for details) with pub food and excellent Guinness!
