Conditions for Scuba Diving in Cardiff, Swansea and South Wales - 06.04.2017

Conditions Report for Scuba Diving in Cardiff, Swansea & South Wales

The scuba diving gods are looking down on South Wales this weekend.

We've got low swell along the coast, light winds throughout and some good tidal sizes too. On top of that, we're expecting some nice sunshine too!

Swell is going to be around the 2ft - 3ft size and the wind speed is low too. This means visibility should also be acceptable along the coast so get your kit together, make your plan and get out there. Water temperatures will still be low at this time of year, so good thermal protection will be required. Dry or semi dry suits, hoods, gloves, etc will all be required and you also need to think about your thermal protection for before and after any dive.

There is as always the option to head to one of the inland sites in or around South Wales, but unless you are training or have a particular type of activity you want to complete, why wouldn't you take advantages of the conditions this weekend. The high tide this weekend is late afternoon to early evening so plan your dive accordingly, remembering the rule of twelfths.

Scuba Diving Training in Cardiff, Swansea & South Wales

Last weekend we were in the pool at Hebron Hall, Cardiff with our latest batch of students, all of who were absolutely fantastic. This weekend our instructors are taking a break from courses but will no doubt be looking to take advantage of the favourable conditions and heading out for a dive along the South Wales coast.

Our PADI Open Water Diver Referral run on the first Saturday of every month, so if you're thinking of getting started on your diving adventure, give us a call and we can talk you through the various options. With the weather starting to pick you, we'll also be running the Open Water part of the PADI Open Water Diver course soon in Chepstow, so hopefully we'll be signing off a number of students to begin their underwater experience!
