Never dived it and having been there a couple of weeks ago I can't say I'm in that much of a hurry. There is parking adjacent to the pier entrance just at the start of the toll road round the coast. Can't remember if there are steps down to the water from the shore but there is what looks like a disused dock at water level at the end where the fishing deck is but it was gated and locked.

Visibility looks atrocious and the water looks filthy (brown/green). There's probably good rooting to be had beneath the pier though.

Trefor pier is great. llandudno pier looks really crappy (vis wise)

I grew up in Llandudno, so if you do dive it, I'd be interested to hear the report. We used to jump from the pier into the water at the spot mentioned above. You have to be real carefyul when you jump, or in this case, dive, becuase the currents seriously rip about and all the rocks are RAZOR sharp, so please be careful. Getting in at this spot will be a trick, but we used to have to climb up the cliffs to get out, so I guess that's out.

you could walk in from the beach. The pier is totally covered in mussels, and the water quality is atrocious. Personally, I'd go somewhere in Anglesey.

Parking in Llandudno is the worse I have ever experienced anywhere, btw.

Just to reiterate the above when I asked Chris Holden about this last summer he said be careful of the currents as they can be very strong.
