A wave-exposed shore dive on the Blackrock headland.
Three Sisters is a compact shore dive on the Blackrock headland in Northern Ireland. It sits in a V-shaped rocky gap and only really works when the sea is calm enough to keep the swell down. On the right day it offers a shallow rocky reef with direct shore access and a distinctly weather-window feel, making it better suited to divers who are comfortable choosing their conditions carefully.

The area is exposed and can amplify even small swell; plan dives only for very calm days and take care on the cliff walk and reef crossing.

Legal Notes
Use the local headland access and plan around the weather window.
