About This Dive Spot
Three Sisters is accessed from the shore, with parking available at the Carrick Dhu Caravan car park. Divers must walk down the cliffs and traverse the reef to reach the diving area located in a V-shaped gap on the eastern side of Blackrock headland. This site is quite exposed to wave action, which can amplify even small swells, making it advisable to dive only on calm days. The dive site features three rockpools with depths ranging from 3 to 8 meters, alongside a larger basin that reaches approximately 10 meters. Marine life includes kelp forests, anemones, and spider crabs.
