Summer is on its way out and the Autumn is coming in, this means a change in conditions through the South Wales region. Water temperature will be high into October but at present there are high winds and swells forecast which will affect the conditions especially the visibility.
We have had a prolonged period of good conditions but that is now behind us, hopefully we can get a period of no swell and light winds to enhance the diving conditions.
Currently we are running the PADI Open Water Diver course for people across South Wales, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and across the region. We are also in the process of delivering the PADI Rescue diver course.

Definate change in the conditions over the last couple of weeks, from warm and sunny we have had cold and stormy. August definitely is a mixed bag of weather now. Big winds and stormy seas have affected the Scuba Diving in all areas across South Wales, best option if to head inland to the protected sites. My be lucky and get a dive in on the West Wales coast.
Last weekend we completed the PADI Open Water Diver course with Natalie, Hayley, Gavin, Mike and Nia. All passed there full Open Water diver qualification and are now set to prepare for the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver qualification.
This is the diving season for us now, warm waters and calmer seas in the months of September, October and November. We are then off on our epic trip to South Africa and Mozambique to see our wonderful sharks and creatures. We will keep you full informed.

SCUBA DIVING CONDITIONS REPORT SOUTH WALES, CARDIFF, SWANSEA, PORTHCAWL, LLANLLEI, STACK POLE
Yet again this winter were not having the best conditions for sea based diving in the local areas around Cardiff, Ogmore, Porthcawl, Aberavon, Swansea, Llanllei and Stackpole quay. The seas are rough, the winds are high, the swell is huge, so there is no real safe possibility of scuba diving across the South Wales area. Again the best option will be to hed inland to the various controlled diving sites.
