OK, so its noy a sea dive, or somewhere exotic but we returned to Vivian today after about 2 years absence. Its a small hole in the welsh hills with magnificent views over snowdonia. Did 2 dives (Once clockwise and once anticlockwise so it seemed new !!) and it was great.
Vis about 10m, 19m max depth and a circuit that takes in all the sights (about 40 mins incl safety stop - dont fin too fast !!!). So whats in there
1. 2 boats
2. Blast house with swim thru + gnome garden on top
3. Larger blast house (no entry)
4. Car wreck
5. 6m `platform` for trainees
6. Underwater scrap heap
7. Saw ONE trout
8. DaveJ saw massive eel
9. huge slate boulders/crevices etc
All in all for a small site it was great - you can see the lot on dive one, then in reverse for dive two.
Water temp was 6 degrees - minimal silt (some haze nearer the surface) AND a one degree thermocline.
registration cost a fiver (for life) and a days diving cost a fiver. Would recommend the Early starter breakfast + black pudding at the little chef on the way.!!!
We got pissed off with cape and this was totally different - new owners are good guys and very friendly so if you fancy summat different and the sea is blown then try this - good fun was had by all
