Aquaventures Diving & Snorkelling

Adventures in and on the water - these include whale watching trips, scuba diving, snorkelling rental, eco tours, angling and Fastnet sunset trips.   Let us take you on the water, enjoy the rugged coast line seen from the Atlantic Ocean, on board the Wave Chieftain. 

Qualified divers will enjoy the many wrecks and reefs.  Our hardboat is available for charter (groups / clubs up to 12 divers maximum and subject of course to suitable weather conditoins and minimum numbers). Famous dive sites include the German U-Boat off Glandore, known also as the "U260" (depth 38 to 44 mtrs) or the largest wreck in the world "Kowloon Bridge" which sank in 1986 and lies in 19 to 36 mtrs (measuring 300 mtrs long).

Family groups or individuals can rent full snorkelling equipment for independant snorkel trips to Lough hyne or nearby beaches and rocky shores.  Full equipment rental plus help in planning where to go on any given day is included - all you need is swimming ability and a vehicle to get to your preferred location and enjoy your "float".

Boat trips / Eco Tours twice a day, subject of course to weather and minimum numbers for eco tours, whale & dolphin trips plus dusk / sunset trips to the Fastnet - all during the boating season May to November.  Sea arches and caves, cliffs, beaches, islands offshore and marine wildlife which includes humpbacks, fin and minke whales, dolphins, seals and ocean birds as well as basking sharks and sunfish.

Sunset Trips - West Cork enjoys wonderful red sunsets on clear days with spectacular skies - we travel to the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse, great for digital photography enthusiasts or the romantic amongst you.  On those clear summer nights sunset times obviously vary depending on the time of year and after the red skies go dark the bright moonlight guides us back to Baltimore harbour in time for you to enjoy a night cap in one of the bars locally.
