SUMMARY:Pembrokshire Recreational Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Scuba diving from Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire offers a wealth of underwater experiences, from exploring historic shipwrecks to encountering diverse marine life amidst stunning underwater landscapes.\nRich Maritime History and Wreck Diving\nThe waters around Milford Haven are a treasure trove for wreck diving enthusiasts, with over 350 documented shipwrecks. One notable site is the ‘Lucy’, a cargo ship that sank in 1967 and now rests upright at approximately 40 metres depth, offering a fascinating dive for experienced divers. Another intriguing wreck is the ‘Loch Shiel’, known as the ‘Whiskey Wreck’, which met its fate in 1894 while carrying a cargo of whiskey. These wrecks provide unique opportunities to delve into maritime history while observing how marine ecosystems have colonised these structures.\nSome notable wrecks include:\n\nThe Dakotian (21m) – A WWII cargo ship sunk by a German bomber in 1940, now an artificial reef teeming with marine life.\nThe Lucy (42m) – A beautifully intact steamship that went down in 1967, great for tech divers.\nThe Behar (48m) – A deep, well-preserved wreck that’s an adventure for experienced divers.\nThe Smalls Lightship (22m) – A historic shipwreck near The Smalls lighthouse.\n\nDiverse Marine Life\nThe Pembrokeshire coastline, particularly around the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone, is renowned for its biodiversity. Divers can encounter grey seals, porpoises, and a myriad of fish species. The underwater scenery is adorned with vibrant anemones, sponges, and sea slugs, making each dive a colourful experience.\nExpect to see:\n\nConger eels, lobsters, and crabs hiding in wreck crevices.\nHuge shoals of pollock, wrasse, and bass.\nPlayful seals at Skomer and Skokholm islands.\nJellyfish, nudibranchs, and octopus for macro photographers.\n\nIf you’re lucky, you may also spot sunfish (Mola mola) or even basking sharks in late summer.\nScenic Dive Sites\nBeyond wrecks, Milford Haven offers access to scenic dive sites like ‘Stack Rocks’ and ‘Hens and Chicks’. These locations feature dramatic underwater landscapes with gullies and rock formations, providing habitats for species such as triggerfish.\nBeyond wrecks, Milford Haven offers spectacular reefs, pinnacles, and caves. The rocky coastline and strong tidal flows have carved deep gullies and dramatic drop-offs. Notable sites include:\n\nStack Rocks – An exciting drift dive with stunning walls covered in anemones and sponges.\nHen & Chicks Reef – A hotspot for marine life, great for all experience levels.\nThe Smalls – A remote but rewarding site with caves, kelp forests, and swirling currents.\n\nBooking & Costs\nThere are 12 spots available on Celtic Explorer at £140 per person for both days. If interested let me know and I’ll co-ordinate it.” Basically the boat is vacant at the moment for that weekend. The spaces can be booked individually.\nBook online at Pembrokeshire Boat Charters.\nSelect Book Now and check dates 28 and 29 June, select number of persons then continue. Complete details and pay deposit £50 leaving a balance of £90.\nAccommodation\nTŷ Milford Waterfront\nNelson Quay,\nMilford Haven,\nSA73 3AA\n\nBook Hotel\n\n\n \nLet’s support John and get back to Pembrokeshire in the summer and fill this boat. I know Pembrokeshire is a long way for many, but these dates have meticulously been chosen to be outside of bloom and school holidays. This will be more of a recreational weekend than technical and ideal for those who like a little photography.\n
