Great location for novice divers for Open Water and continued education training.

This is a sheltered training site easily accessible from the shore. A sandy intertidal area leads to a rocky outcropping covered in seaweed and kelp.

Located within Kilkeel Leisure Centre there is a pool that can be split into 2 sections. The beginner pool has a moveable floor that allows for a range of depths to be set. The maximum depth for this pool is 3m.

This flooded quarry in Markethill, County Armagh, offers sheltered diving conditions with depths reaching approximately 20 metres. The site provides excellent visibility at times, making it suitable for training, skill development, and recreational exploration in a controlled freshwater environment.
