About Outer Rock
Outer Rock is a Kilkee boat dive with rock-wall terrain, crevices, and a deeper link to the Middle Rock system. The site is a short run from the pier and works best when the sea is settled. Expect a compact dive with enough depth change to stay interesting, plus hardier Irish rock life that suits local boat diving. A torch helps on the darker walls and crevices.
