There are several excellent and convenient dive sites on Hook Head, the most popular is just under the light house which is also has convenient parking. Enter the water from the flat rocks near the light house and keep to the left. Return to the same spot to exit the water.

Solomon’s Hole

If the light house is a bit too choppy you could  try Solomons Hole  –  access to this is via Slade Harbour which is about 2.5kms away (heading back the way you came you will see the harbour signposted at a junction about 2kms from the lighthouse). The Solomons Hole Dive site is about a 300m walk from the harbour. Enter the water at the distinctive Arch, you will see a small cave behind you to explore – heading out through the arc there is a crevice  dropping down to about 12m, from here head to the left / north.  There are several points further up the shore where you should be able to exit, alternatively you can head back and exit from your entry point.
