Waterworld

Tucked into the Maharees on the Dingle Peninsula of Co. Kerry, along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, Waterworld Dive Centre sits just 30 metres from the water's edge — in a setting National Geographic once called one of "the most beautiful places on earth." As Ireland's oldest family-run dive centre, it carries 60 years of experience across three generations, and holds recognition as a PADI 5 Star CDC and the country's first National Geographic Dive Centre.

Courses for every level

A team of 6 PADI Instructors guides everyone from first-timers to professionals. Begin with a Try A Scuba Dive pool session from USD 71, step up through PADI Discover Scuba Diving and the Open Water Course, or specialise with Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search and Recovery, and Rescue Diver. Kids and families are welcome too.

Local dive sites range from the shallows of Scraggane Bay and The Necklace to deeper reefs like The Outer Reef at 24–35 metres. Divers may share the water with sharks, whales, turtles and more. Onsite you'll find a training pool, classroom, retail shop, waterfront location and accommodation.
