You can circumnavigate the rock and finish off the dive in the sea cave to the Southwest. As with most areas around Aran Island, the best displays of anemones are in shallow water. The Skiford Just East of Bullignamirra Rock lies the Skiford, a trawler which went down in a storm in the mid-eighties. Tragically all hands were lost. The wreck lies listing to starboard in 26n with a reef a few metres to the North.
Visibility is usually good and from amidshpis the whole intact ship can be seen.
A Dive you'll never forget. This is the main thoroughfare for traffic between Burtonport and Aranmore Harbour and is over 20m deep in places. Bring a good torch to light up the nooks and crevices. The rock walls are dominated by turnicates such as Ascidia Aspersa which is indicative of strong currents but no wave action. Kelp stalks are smothered in bright yellow and orange sponges and the shingle, sand and rock sea bed offers a variety of habitats to keep marine biologists and photographers happy.
