Dive in Wales
-
Dorothea Quarry Mid Wales,
Great place to learn to dive if the sea is rough. Although it is deep, it goes down in steps so the depth can be pitched for the experience of any diver. -
Sun Beach Mid Wales,
Nice easy dive with lots of crustations and dogfish around. -
Tywyn Mid Wales,
Although fairly flat and sandy, just north of the slipway are plenty of rocks usually full of crustatians. -
Menai Straits North Wales,
A rollercoaster! If doing by boat, go up past the swillies then drop in for the ride of your life. Best to keep the dive boat close to your marker bouy, as most weekend boaters haven't a clue what it means! -
Puffin Island North Wales,
The island can be dived on any side but the tip nearest the mainland is a good place to finish on your safety stop as the resident seals may come and play with you. ( they only nibble your fins).can be dived as a drift dive but watch out for the pleasure boats who come past regularly in the summer.… -
Trefor Pier North Wales,
Lots of life around the legs of the pier. Easy access from the shore. -
Vivian Quarry North Wales,
A small quarry that has lots of places for training. A platform at 6m and various bits of things to play with including an old boat. -
Ynys Moelfre North Wales,
Must be dived on slack water to avoid the currents. lots of life on the rocks and plenty to see. watch out for the lobster pots and please don't steal from them as the local fishermen will report you and take revenge. -
Hen & Chicks South West Wales,
Very nice little dive site. Full of marine life. -
Martins Haven South West Wales,
Two small walls, one on the left and another one on the right. Martins Haven is really a cool place, both for shore divig and picnic with familly & kids. -
North Wall South West Wales,
Probably the most popular dive sites around Skomer Island. The wall full of gorgonians starts at 6m deep just after the kelp-covered rocks.Best is two hours after slack tide. -
St Brides Bay South West Wales,
Kelp & sandy floor. Very nice beginer dive. -
The Dakotian Wreck South West Wales,
The Dakotian was a 6,426-ton merchant ship. She sank in 1940 (parachute mine) and now sits upright.Best is to dive 1h before slack tide. -
The Greek South West Wales,
The Greek was a 4,737 ton steamer and sank in 1940 after colliding with St Anne's Head rocks.This wreckage may be an interresting second dive. -
The Lucy Wreck South West Wales,
The Lucy was a coaster; she sank in 1967 and now sits upright at 42m deep.
