A lot of people have similar preconceived ideas that diving in the Britain is dark, dangerous, cold and there is nothing worth seeing anyway. Quite the contrary, in Pembrokeshire, West Wales there is a unique environment - this is the only coastal marine reserve in the UK. There is an abundance of varied and fascinating sea creatures, many small coves and reefs to explore, hundreds of shipwrecks (many still undiscovered) that in turn become home to more species.
As for combating the temperature, it's actually not as cold as one might think most of the time. Divers use thicker suits than in the tropics or dry suit systems in any case.
The visibility varies and depends on the location, prevailing winds and plankton blooms.Some of the best visibility to be had is offshore when the wind is low. Of course when the weather really gets bad that's the time to stay off the sea and lovingly repair and service treasured diving equipment.
Some of the advantages of learning to dive in the UK are that legislation here is much stiffer than abroad, so instructors tend to be on the whole more diligent.They also want and expect customers to return to participate in further training and go on diving trips. Furthermore the conditions are challenging and therefore require a higher standard of training than in more temperate climes.
Divers that train and participate in diving projects in their home country tend to keep up their pursuit, stay in practice, purchase their own kit and are generally much more responsible and safety conscious than fair weather counterparts.
One of the most rewarding shore diving locations for novice divers is the "Blue Lagoon" at Aberieddy. This is an old quarry, connected to the sea, but is actually confined water and not affected by the tide too much except on spring tides. The location is beautiful, the water a deep blue, great cliffs and, on this particular day, we had sunshine and a curious seal to share the lagoon with. It's a bit of a trek getting up the path with all the gear, but well worth it. As we always say, diving is the sport you want to keep in shape for!
The visibility is generally about 5 meters, not brilliant but adequate. The sunlight dancing off the walls covered in; limpets, "Dead Man's Fingers" (a soft coral) and anemones. Spider crabs, blennies, edible crabs and some gorgeous golden brown swaying kelp can be seen. Old structures of the quarry appear - kind of spooky in the half-light. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to circumnavigate the lagoon and this is plenty for a first timer to get an idea of what it's like to scuba dive.
Great Barrier Reef versus West Wales, well there is a special attraction to diving in British waters; you have to want to discover things, taking your time. It's subtle, less obvious, even more mysterious. In crystal clear waters, full of brightly coloured fish, that kind of diving has its own lure, but it is easy to become quite blase after a couple of days, even complacent. It's what you get used to.
Some people make the mistake of not checking out what is on their doorstep, making excuses based on assumptions about what it's like to dive here and fail to explore the adventure that is to be had.
