Diving atOverHang 16-20MTS (Ireland)

OverHang 16-20mts presents a dive into a distinctly vertical world, where the ocean floor gives way to dramatic rock architecture. This site earns its name from the primary depth range, extending from a shallower entry to approximately 16 to 20 m / 52 to 65 ft at its deepest points.

Divers here navigate along impressive rock faces, encountering genuine overhangs that create intriguing shadows and sheltered environments. These structural elements define the dive, drawing attention to intricate details rather than expansive vistas. The descent provides a continuous display of texture and form, with the wall itself acting as the main point of interest.

While specific data on currents isn't consistently available, tidal conditions are known to influence water movement, which can range from barely perceptible to moderately challenging. Divers should be prepared for variable flow depending on the day and specific tidal phase.

This intimate exploration prioritizes close observation of the rock canvas and its inhabitants, moving away from the typical open-water or large cavern experience. The site demands attentive buoyancy control as you glide alongside the vertical plane, revealing hidden nooks and ledges.

It's an opportunity to appreciate the smaller, resilient life thriving within these sheltered zones, making each section of the wall a micro-habitat waiting to be discovered.
