Trefor

[Arfie]

I really should try and contribite to this thread I suppose

Unfortunately I only had about 6 shots available on my camera and I'd never used it before (or read the instructions lol )

These are the best 2 shots I got, but I've been too lazy to ID the little fella. I think Endoman was off crab bothering at the time



it actually moved upto the rock and I swear it was posing



It was a nice relaxed dive and although there were a few divers there, it wasn't crowded or messy.

Sad to see all the dead dogfish though and I didn't see a live one enywhere.

The reef off the end was very similar to the bits of reef under the pier but we didn't hang around long.

Second day there were loads of prawns all lined up on the sand but I'd got no camera with me and once again Endoman was off chasing crabs lol

Nice piccies, I think I have a crap picture of him coming back the other way.

Well it looks as if we are venturing back to Trefor again this weekend, I've heard rumour from a fisherman that there is a small reef off to the side of the peir? We had a look for it once before but found nothing but sand, does anyone have any foolproof (it'll need to be!) method of finding this reef?

We know about the one is off the end, but it would be nice to see the other one and see if we can get more than 40 mins underwater after a 4 hour drive.

Nice report and loved the photos

Here's some hopefully useful info for those planning a dive at trefor

1 If it's been raining the viz will be pants
2 If there has been a swell the viz will be pants
3 The guy at Vivian says it is better at low tide, I've only ever dived high tide so can't comment

A couple of us were at Trefor a couple of weeks ago and were informed by some other divers on site that there is a reef off the right (East) side around the third set of pilings and straight out.

Currents were strong at the time and so we never had a chance to explore further.

Maybe of some help.

How right you are. I have dived it twice first time The Goat messed up the tides and we went in at low tide the viz was good. The following weekend I went again following some rain dropping mid week and we dive it on high tide and I couldnt even see my buddies fins despite me be able to touch them.

3rd pillar eh, might be worth tying a reel off and heading out then at the end of the dive. We can send Endoman off if I can stop him bothering the spider crabs

Happy to go and have a look, off to get goodie bag today just in case we see anything worth cooking :-)

Like the fish picture. Wish I'd had viz like that when I've dived Trefor before. One day perhaps.

Would have liked to have dived today but am off for 5 days to Blackpool tomorrow so busy instead.

Enjoy Trefor and watch your kit!

Cheers
