Life After the Pool

Open water training is undertaken at a variety of inland and coastal locations. Abercastle and St Brides Bay, Pembrokeshire being amoung my favourites.

Chepstow is Home of the National Diving Diving & Activity Centre and offers an excellent inland training venue.

West wales offers some great dive sites, with opertunities to explore the many bays and kelp forests, with seals a common bonus.

I have a small selection of Tanks, Weights, BCD, and Regulators which are available for the pool sessions. If personal needs dictate and certainly regards a suit for the open water dives, equipment hire is available from a number of SCUBA stores.

Please make use of the "Links" page to check out the prices of typical equipment hire, inland dive site entrance fees, boat charter for a typical coastal dive trip etc.
