Diving the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man, with its extremely diverse and plentiful marine life, offers excellent diving. The waters are clear and nurture teeming communities of plants and animals.
The island is situated in the Irish Sea, between Britain and Ireland. It is independent with its own government. The best diving is on the South of the island, especially in the Calf of Man.
