An Irish regional name for the cormorant, a large, dark-colored seabird known for its exceptional diving ability. The name is descriptively straightforward — the bird is black and it dives. Regional folk names for animals like this were common before standardized ornithological naming, and black-diver reflects the practical, visual approach Irish coastal communities took to naming the wildlife around them.
