SCUBA DIVING CONDITIONS REPORT FOR CARDIFF, SWANSEA, NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES AREA
Easterly winds for another week accross South Wales creating good clean entrance and exit points on Westerly facing beaches and good inshore conditions for diving. Possibly diving areas in Swansea, Llanelli and towards camarthenshire. The winds are cold so need to assess thermal protection, dry suits and training required through the PADI Dry Suit course. Also levels of experience are required preferably to a PADI Rescue diver or PADI Dive master. Visability is low due to the constant swell so more a training dive situation than one with great visability.
