Oceans of Discovery Ltd

Oceans of Discovery Limited operates an interactive marine experience located within the historic Camden Fort Meagher in Crosshaven, County Cork. Founded in 2017 by Cork-born marine scientist and dive professional Dave Quinlan, the company is dedicated to spreading marine awareness through engaging, hands-on learning experiences. The business aims to inspire the next generation by combining fascinating guidance from marine biologists with a range of fun, interactive exhibits.

The company offers 50-minute time slots suitable for all ages, making it a popular choice for families. Visitors can explore native species aquariums featuring creatures such as spider crabs and small sharks, while also interacting with starfish and hermit crabs in gentle touch tanks. Additional attractions include a Cork Harbour water play table, a metal detector treasure hunt focused on marine litter, and virtual reality dive experiences that allow guests to explore underwater worlds like coral reefs and shipwrecks.

Beyond its physical centre, Oceans of Discovery provides a Marine Roadshow that brings interactive exhibits and live demonstrations to schools, events, and communities. The company also organises summer camps for children, combining education with outdoor exploration. Furthermore, it delivers first aid training presentations, covering topics such as CPR, choking, and defibrillator use for staff and groups. All tickets to the centre include admission to explore the historic surroundings of the fort.
