This drift dive in the chilly blue Irish Sea has rock gullies and overhangs that provide nooks where northern hemisphere sea creatures shelter and feed on the microscopic plankton brought in by strong currents. The two large basin-shaped gullies are of particular interest, sitting like amphitheatres in the ocean. One of them has an old wooden ship’s beam in it covered in wonderful anemones of various shapes and textures. There’s good chance you’ll spot dangly octopi in the area, as well as sturdy Pollack fish, dogfish, lobsters and if you’re really lucky grey seals that often swim alongside the dive group. Burroo Ned is a short boat ride off shore, located at the southern tip of the Calf of Man.
