Porth Clais - West Wales
Cold but sunny day with quite high winds. Most sites were blown out , but Porth Clais was in the lee so off we went. Vis was poor at 2m max and there wasn't much depth, 8.5m max. 100's and 100's of crabs to be seen along with some other marine life, star fish, urchins hermit crabs etc. It was Owens elementary diver qualification dive which went really well. Off to St Davids afterwards for a pint then home. Another great day out. |

Liveaboard trip - West Wales
Weekend away aboard Lo Entropy a 70ft sailing yacht. Dived Church Rock and Worms Head both of which were top class, (visited by a friendly seal at Worms Head). The boat itself has comfortable accomodation and a very friendly crew making for an excellent trip. Our only comment for the skipper Geoff is 'please get a more diver friendly ladder system'. We all want another trip.

Qualifying Dives - West Wales

Lundy Island
A last minute hitch meant the Lundy Island trip was cancelled (boat engine seized). Luckily the club RIB 'Morfach' was to be sea trialled this weekend, so we used her on sun to dive the Dakotian, 4m+ vis' which is good for the Haven, lots of marine life making for a very pleasant dive. Then over to Thorn Island to find the Loch Sheil. No luck on this one which ended up as a dive on kelp with good vis but absolutely no life. Another excellent weekend.

National Diving & Activity Centre
A midweek dip at the NDAC. We were the only divers there (turned up at 2:30pm). Dropped down to the dive bell then over to the shelf and platforms. We were disappointed with the vis at 2-4m max, even at 25m it wasn't any good. Overall we all enjoyed our selves, got a pint or two then home. Another good day. |
