#1 - Sun Beach
UK, Wales, Mid Wales
Nice easy dive with lots of crustations and dogfish around.
Entry is through Sun Beach Caravan Park LLwyngwril, south of Dolgellau. Drive right down the the slipway between the caravans.
#2 - Vivian Quarry
UK, Wales, North Wales
A small quarry that has lots of places for training. A platform at 6m and various bits of things to play with including an old boat.
Park in the large car park at the Padarn lake railway station. Llanberis.
#3 - Tywyn
UK, Wales, Mid Wales
Although fairly flat and sandy, just north of the slipway are plenty of rocks usually full of crustatians.
Use slipway at and of promanade.
#4 - Blue lake
UK, Wales, Mid Wales
Although touted as "Bottomless" it has a maximum of 12m. The blueness is due to the slate that is sliding down from the far side. Entry can be either giant stride from the cliff edge or a gentle slope from the far right of footpath.
Not easy! By road you have o come in from Llwyngril across the top road then drop down to the lake from here. Defenatly 4 wheel drive territory. Otherwise it is a long walk up a steep path opposite Salt's garage in Fairbourne. Entry is then through tunnels following the old quarry rail track.
