Shore Diving in Anglesey

Has anyone got any good shore dives in Anglesey they can suggest
for a club trip in October. Preferably around Trearddur and Rhosneigr.
All divers are sports level and above.

thanks

Hi Rich, funny who you bump into in here.
I have Chris Holden's book which covers the area from Barmouth to South
Stack on Holyhead that you are welcome to loan. I'll bring it along on
Thursday, although my backup plan if Abbs looks like it may be blown out
is North Wales so I'd hang on to the book for the weekend - forecast for
Abbs looks good though )
Hopefully others will be along soon who can offer some personal
experience, and perhaps of the rest of Holyhead past South Stack.
Cheers
Graham

Hi Richard, Graham. Is this a Marlin SAC free for all? I did pretty much
all of my previous diving around this area. I will bring in my log book
on Thursday and pick out some good sites for you if you like.

The only trouble with shore dives around trearrdur is getting the tides
right. You will get a good dive in the kelp at High tide, but by low tide
you'll be walking out quite a way to find the water. If it gets blown out
it's not too far to get to Vivian or the other place (but that's a BSAC no
no!)

Also some wrecks on the straits side of angelesey, accessable from the
shore, and drifts of course.

Be warned

They are dredging Holyhead harbour at the mo, and viz has been reduced to
minestrone soup, around the north. The straits were okay BH w\end, but take
local advice as to the currents, they can be tricky even on shore dives.

Watch out for jetskiers, they tend to use SMBs as bouys!

If you get blown out then Dottie is only 30 mins away.
