SCUBA DIVING WALES, SOUTH WALES CARDIFF, SWANSEA, LLANELLI, CARMARTHENSHIRE - Weather is very bad across the South Wales region covering the scuba diving in Cardiff, Swansea, Llanelli, Burry Port, Carmarthen. Very high winds and Heavy rain are predicted over the next few days making the conditions for scuba diving very bad. Big swells and very stormy waters and conditions would make diving in the local area very volatile so our advise is to stay out of the water this weekend. Even Inland sites will be affected but may be the only option to dive this weekend.
PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver courses - Even with the bad weather we are still teaching people accross the country especially in South Wales. We are running the PADI Open Water Diver Course and the PADI Rescue diver course with students across South Wales. A good course for all people is the Emergency First Response course teaching first aid and basic care for in the home, workplace and from the water. The next PADI Open Water Course will be held on 7th September 2019.
