English (Translate this text in English): Seal Harbour is a beautifully idyllic secluded bay which although does not have much depth has a lot going for it. It’s not difficult to find being signposted off the main road about 4k from Glengarrif on the road to Castletownbere, having left the main road take the next turning right and a short distance down there you will see a small parking area shaded by an oak tree overlooking the stony beach, access to the shore is relatively easy by means of a short track onto the top of the rocks which are not difficult to traverse, the bay would be well sheltered in anything but a South/East through to South/West wind.

 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): The dive itself is shallow and the route we took being an average of 6 meters with two hours to go before high tide when we made our exit, there is a large amount of interest to be had for photographers using the natural light available especially in sunny conditions, the bay is inhabited by several types of tubeworm, decorator crab, sea squirts, hermit crabs are everywhere and we saw several dogfish and a thornback ray, plus if luck is on your side seals do make a frequent appearance. The site is good for photographers and all levels of divers with no hazards as far as we could see.
