SCUBA DIVING WALES, SOUTH WALES CARDIFF, SWANSEA, LLANELLI, CARMARTHENSHIRE - Conditions are not great for Scuba Diving for the next few days especially from the exposed beaches and areas. High winds and big swells are creating unsuitable conditions for Scuba Diving in all regions covering Cardiff, Porthcawl, Swansea and to Stackpole Quay. The only possibility may be in the West of Wales which will have more offshore winds in certain areas. Visibility will be low due to the sea conditions so all round not looking as good as the previous settled weeks of diving.

PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver courses - The PADI certification system is the ticket into Scuba Diving anywhere in the world. Starting with the PADI Open Water Diver course allowing the diver to dive with a buddy up to 18 meters anywhere worldwide. We have recently completed the PADI Open Water Diver course with three students Rosalind, Matthew and Adam. They are now qualified to dive globally and hopefully progress the experience knowledge and understanding.

WEATHER - High temperatures through the week around the 20 degree mark. Dry also accept for Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The wind is variable from all directions and highest on Friday and Saturday dropping down into the early part of the week. Easterly winds may see temperatures drop slightly but generally good temperatures for the time of year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648385?day=2) (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcjqmsw80)

WIND - Varide winds this week from all directions and strengths. Thursday, Friday and Saturday will have the highest winds gusting up to 20 mph West and North West over these days. From Sunday onwards the winds will drop down to 10 mph from Easterly and then Westerly directions.
SEA STATE and SWELL - Not bad swells this week, possibly up to 4 foot on Friday, this may be affected by the changing winds especially in the Westerly facing areas. Warmer Seas and small swells through the next few days after with possibly Wednesday picking up to 4 foot. Choppier seas with the higher winds but should be calmer into next week,

HIGH TIDE - Thursday 11th July 2019 - 14.30pm / 8.09 meters

SCUBA DIVING WALES, SOUTH WALES CARDIFF, SWANSEA, LLANELLI, CARMARTHENSHIRE - The wind and the swell has increase this week and inshore sea conditions will be affected. With the bigger swells and choppier seas the diving conditions will not be as good as last week. Protected areas will be better such as Stackpole Quay near Tenby. Local conditions and areas close to Cardiff and Swansea will be less favourable with limited visibility and hard entrance and exit conditions. Higher levels of qualifications and experience will be required to assess and deal with the conditions.

PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver courses - This weekend we are training the PADI Open Water Diver Course at an Inland site in the UK. Our students are Adam, Rosalind and Matthew. All will be completing four open water dives after successfully completing the Confined Water and the Theory sections of the PADI diver training system. The next level will be the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course which will be commencing in a couple of weeks.

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.

SCUBA DIVING CONDITIONS REPORT FOR CARDIFF, SWANSEA, NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES AREA

There are big Easterly offshore winds this week which will mean the inshore dive sites should be protected from Wind and swell. This could allow good access into the waters around South Wales on the High Tides. The weekend early morning and on the early evening would have the best conditions on the High incoming tides and the protected areas. Visability will be questionable especially the further down the channel you go.

We have now completed several PADI Open water courses accross the country including London, Bolton, Cardiff, Stratford Upon Avon and Coventry. The students will all now be progressing towards completing the 4 Open Water Dives to complete the full PADI Open Water.
