North Wales 2008
 

A selection of images taken by Suzie Tuckett, Russell Rafton and Gary Cameron

 

 
   
Dorothea...
There is no site quite like it in Wales (or England or Scotland for that matter) Max depth approx 110 metres.
Our trip should have started with Trefor Pier but a severe Gale Force 9, scuppered any thoughts of that.
Instead we did our first dive in Dorothea and the second in Vivian, returning to Dorothea on the Sunday.
  
           
   

Our North Wales weekends are normally based
at Caernarfon.
Anglesey Arms just under the castle is normally
our first visit after a fairly long drive.
   
 

The small but well formed dive team
engage in some dive planning...
   
 

Wow, is this the accomodation?
Well no but it is just around the corner.
   
 

Totters Caernarfon. (the Kitchen)
Getting ready for the dive trip.

See the Accomodation pages for more into.
   
 
 

The Black Boy in Caernarfon...

Good Food and fairly cheap. Its in Northgate
just off High Street and minutes away from
Totters.

Dorothea
The concrete platform at the bottom of the slope.
A bit of pre dive briefing and buddy checks.
Ok after a good dive at Dorothea, we stop off at
Llanberis and Pete's Cafe for a meal and a ex large
mug of tea. It's very popular and great value for money. Big portions and cheap. (and the chips are proper ones)

Diver makes a splash in Vivian Quarry.

At the end of Saturday night we all headed
for the Chinese Restaurant in the
centre of Caernarfon. See the Palau trip, you dont need to go to Singapore to meet the Budda.
Gosh more dive planning.
We spent St David's Day in Wales
