Ocean divers can dive with other Ocean divers to a maximum depth of 20m, no decompression stops and the approval of the DO or appointed Dive Manager.
Maximum depth: Club Divers -20m, Sports Divers – 35m, Dive Leaders and above – 50m.
All divers are strongly recommended to carry an alternative air source. An octopus rig or preferably, for deeper dives, a pony rig.
It is highly recommended that all divers have a delayed surface marker buoy (SMB) and reel with them.
Those wishing to dive on Nitrox should liaise with the Dive Manager before hand. The dive may be unsuitable for using Nitrox. Maximum operating depth (MOD) for 32% oxygen is 35 metres, and for 36% oxygen is 30 metres.
Diving on the South coast of the peninsula is to avoid the areas of St. Tudwal’s, Carreg y Trai and Porth Ceiriad on busy Bank Holiday and mid-summer weekends.
Whenever possible, and especially in areas of significant boat traffic, there must be at least two people in the boat whenever divers are in the water.
Diver Recall. (signals to get you back to the surface in event of an emergency). One or more of the following: Rewing boat outboard. 4 rope pulls on SMB line or shot line. An ankle weight or a karabiner dropped down SMB line. Thunderflashs (we haven’t got them yet).
A 6 metre safety stop of at least one minute is recommended at the end of each dive.
