Rhoscolyn dive weekend ~ Sat 31st July & Sun 1st August

This weekend saw us diving one of our old favourite dive sites, Borth Wen (aka Rhoscolyn) in Anglesey! This is a lovely bay and the Rhoscolyn Beacons make for some beautiful (and sometimes thunderous drift) diving! It’s a site we’ve been diving pretty much since the branch started over 25 years ago!

We managed to dive both Saturday and Sunday with around 12 divers in attendance despite a heavy swell between the beacons and Rhoscolyn on the Saturday. The weather improved as the weekend went on. Underwater viz at around 4 metres and 15’c temperatures under the waves.

Primarily conducting training dives this weekend but still managed to catch glimpses of Dog fish, bull huss, spider crabs and lots of lobsters! Dave H even managed to catch one (but let it loose again… Honest!).


Congratulations to Zoe who completed her Ocean Diver qualification (Zoe has been coming here with her parents since being a toddler and finally managed to tick off one of her ‘must dive’ sites).


Thanks to everyone who helped with the training on both days (Clive also got some rescue drills out of the way) and to Dave G for organising a fab weekend!
