About Rathlin Island
Rathlin Island sits 6km off Ballycastle on the Antrim coast, now a Marine Conservation Zone with spectacular diving on dramatic cliffs, sea caves and sea arches both above and below the waterline. Grey seals are guaranteed companions; the island is surrounded by shipwrecks spanning centuries of North Channel navigation; and the biodiversity — from wolf fish in crevices to jewel anemone gardens on the walls — rewards divers on every descent. Charters run from Ballycastle; the island has accommodation for dive trips.
