Just in case you hadn't noticed, we've updated our Dive Site Map! Yay! This is based on information gleaned through local knowledge and our own experiences diving all around the North Wales Coast. If you zoom the map out far enough you'll even notice that Capernwray and NDAC are on the map too now. Handy if you're in the area and any sea dives are blown out.
If you'd like any information regarding specific dive sites in the area please get in touch. We may now know everything you're after straight away, but there's a good chance we can find out for you. Also if you know of any great little dives we've not included please let us know, it's nice to share.
Remember when it comes to the Dive Site Map the tags work as follows :
Blue is an inland dive site.
Yellow is a shore dive site.
Green is a wreck.
Oh and red is the location of Llandudno Sailing Club House where we meet every Sunday at 8pm.
Remember to keep checking the map as more sites are being added all the time!
Location - Trearddur Bay, Anglesey
Date - 06/05/12.
Type - Sea.
Divers - Andrius, Colin, Ed, Anthony.
Andrius and the guys headed to Trearddur Bay last weekend and went for a quick dive out in front of the Dive Services shop on the Ravens Point Road. The dive plan was a for a bimble around the reefs and gullies and out across the headland at around high tide, 10:20 give or take. There were the usual suspects when it came to fish life, Blennies, Wrasse and Gobies for the most part but also a few Brown "edible" Crabs and a couple of LSD's (Lesser Spotter Dogfish).
The guys reached a maximum depth of 9.8m and the water temperature was a pretty decent 9*c. The visibility was a more than acceptable 8m or so but due to the ebbing tide causing a bit of a current between the gullies the divers kept inside the reefs and didn't head out around the point as originally planned.
Trearddur Bay is a gorgeous place with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore! Hopefully she'll be seeing a lot more of us this year. One thing to watch at Trearddur is that, come the summer it can get very busy, and is just as enticing to Jet Ski users, so keep your eyes peeled! We all know how much Jet Skiers love using DSMB's as race track markers!
Hopefully we'll have some pictures coming soon.
Yup, that's right, this morning (09/05/2012) we got a shout out on Chris Evan's BBC Radio 2 morning show! Granted the shout out was a little late as he mentioned we were joining in the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza this weekend (actually last weekend) but either way we're now famous!
So trade your car in for a Leer Jet and insist on diving only in Evian mineral water!
