| Dive Sites - Solva Area |
| Cave around the corner Out of the harbour just to the right you will see a split in the rock, just in front is the entrance at only 5 metres. Go in, it runs for about 30 feet. There is a shaft of light from the split and the walls are red with sea squirts. Just to the left are a series of holes containing lobster and conger. |
| Green Scar Large island, rocky, kelpy to landward. On the seaward side in 22 metres are a couple of old steamships fairly well broken up. Nice reef system as you head in, well scoured out cave to the left. Plenty of lobster, crab - saw my first John dory here. |
| Black Scar Smaller reef with plenty of fish life - found the biggest shark I've ever seen here, tried to eat Jo - didn't fancy me thankfully! |
| The Mare Other side of Green Scar island, big sloping rock down to 17 metres. Had my first experience of trying to catch a lobster here. Boulder field around the rock large running gully on landward side - really nice dive. Don't go on any of these after heavy rain - lot of run off from the river. |
| The Running Reef Lying just 10 metres below the surface, a really extensive reef with some wide gullies and small caves. Drops to 25 m, plenty of life, nudibranchs galore, dog fish, pollack, octopus, crab, lobster - beware, the tide will pull you out on the ebb. Last time we were here H.M.S. Sheffield nearly got us. |
| Felin Fowl Some big conger live round here - had a couple of frights. Reef at 17m, boulders, kelp - nice easy second dive. |
| Felin Fach Very much as Felin Fowl. Found plenty of lobster and crab also octopus and some nice scallops. |
| The Three Tugs One was towing the other two and broke down - result not good! Just to the left of Solva - all three in a heap. |
| Carfai Bay Wall running out only about 15m. Some nice things on the wall and in it - last time we were here was on the lifeboat - the dog was very pleased to see us, had tried abseiling and failed! |
| Note - Slack tides are hard to predict so be very wary. If you need any more information contact us and have a chat... |
