East of Grey Rock
East of Grey Rock: Galway wall dive with a steep drop.
Challenging shore entry east of Grey Rock, with a vertical wall and enough life at several levels to keep the dive interesting.
About East of Grey Rock
East of Grey Rock is a shore dive just east of Grey Rock in County Galway, built around a vertical wall that drops quickly and stays interesting at several levels. The site rewards a careful, local-knowledge entry because access is more challenging than the wall itself, but the payoff is a tidy mid-range dive with brown crabs, wrasse, sea squirts, and occasional nudibranchs along the structure. Plan it for a calm Atlantic window and treat the entry and exit as part of the dive.
