Introduction
This is an amazing dive, catch the current right and you drift
south for about 20 minutes and then drift back north, with a
bit of luck you end up right where you started.
Timing is critical though, Slack water is about three hours
before Liverpool low water slack. You need to be entering the
water about 20 minutes before that. You will drift SW for about
20 minutes, then about 15 minutes of slack and then the current
reverses and takes you NE back to the start
On the return journey watch out for the telephone cables (thin
purple line on the map) that run across the straits, when you
hit them follow them NW towards your entry point.
The straits are teaming with sea life.

Services
None really, car parking for about 4 cars under the bridge.
Please be considerate to the locals.
The nearest dive shop is Mike's at Trearrdur Bay.
If you want a second dive try Vivian Quarry, Dorothea or Trearrdur
Bay. |

Safety
This is the usual entry and exit point (left), just follow the
wall down to the water (shot from the Anglesey side) with the
Menai bridge above.
You are strongly advised to use a SMB and ground cover. Boat
cover is even better. If your timing is out you may end miles
away.
We dived it regularly and get an average depth of about 16m
in the middle. |
