Welsh Dive Sites
We are looking to create an accurate and comprehensive listing of all the major welsh dive sites, and need the help of dive clubs across the country.
Firstly:
We need divers to verify, update and/or correct the following list of dive sites, plus add dive sites that they think should be included.
Secondly:
We would appreciate if dive clubs could "adopt" certain sites that they know well or would like to know more about. If they could then check out the site and write a report about its history, current condition, notable features etc.This could be added to this site.
Hopefully if enough clubs could get involved we may be able to publish a book about these sites in the near future.
If you have any dive-site information, please email our website.
