About Greencastle Shore
Greencastle Shore is a shore-entry coastal dive on the Northern Ireland coast, with easy beach-style access, a sandy intertidal start, and a rocky, seaweed-rich seabed that works well for training, observation, and quiet macro hunting. It is less about depth than about shoreline structure, kelp, and timing the session around the tide and weather.
