Diving

The Kilkee Diving & Watersports Centre is a fully equipped diving centre with facilities for novices and experts alike. In 1999, the centre became the first dive school to be recognised by the Irish Underwater Council (CFT) Training Course. Previously, training courses were only held within clubs, however, now prospective divers can complete their training in the centre to either trainee diver or club diver standard and then join one of the 84 clubs in Ireland. The training they receive will be to the same high standard that CFT divers have been renowned world-wide. It is possible to dive all year around although the best months are April to October with depths from 32 ft (10m) to 147ft (45m) found around the coast. The crystal clear waters of the bay have a Europe-wide reputation for the variety of dives and the diversity of marine life. The centre is located on the seafront. Snorkelling, sailing and board-sailing are also available with instruction.
