Angelsey August Bank Holiday 23

August Bank holiday 2023 some members of the Bradford Sub Aqua club traveled  to Treardour  Bay in Angelsey where they enjoyed diving and Snorkelling on the Welsh coast.

Mick,Max, Harley, Colin and David had the first dive  at Porth Dafarch Beach on the Friday afternoon, this was Harley's first open water dive enabling him to sort his equipment and weights. 

Saturday saw the arrival of Michael, Peter, Wojtek, Natasha, and Dominika due to the tide times we could only dive in the afternoon so we met at cable bay (Porth Trecastell) just before full tide.

Natasha and Wojtek completed their first Open Water dive and both were very excited  telling of what they had seen.

Following the dive Dominika,  Natasha, Harley  did some snorkelling around the rocks along the bay. As some members only came for the day or one evening they went home.

The rest of the members and their families enjoyed a great evening meal at the Sea Shanty restaurant in Treardour

On the Sunday morning Harley, Max, Natasha, Wojtek, David and Mick did another dive at Cable Bay followed by Snorkeling  in the afternoon.

Again on the evening we all met up for a Wholesome dinner in Holyhead.

Following a promise by Wojtek to go swimming in his trunks we all met up  on the Monday morning at Porth Castell beach Max, Natasha and Dominika took to the water with Wojtek wishing he had not said he would go in. After some ribbing he eventually went in and then enjoyed a good 30mins swimming around the bay.

This was a very exciting time for the new members all had a great time  and said they cannot wait for the next open water dive. 

Pool Fun Night

Pool Fun Night 09th December

This years fun and games evening  Was held on the 9th December 5 teams of 6 took part captained by new young members Teams were organised to give the full mix of abilities. This year we invited all the scout groups who came for try dives during the year to take part to add to the chaos.

Various silly games were undertaken and as expected some teams did well some did their own thing and others just added to the chaos. 

All the teams did well and the results were very close with just 2 points separating the first 3 teams but the winning team
Entry to the pool was free and as always we managed to have the mince pies to finish the evening off.

All in all it was a fantastic evening with the feedback saying it was great fun and a pity we do not do more often

A big thanks to all who made it happen,all who took part and to Lisa for all the pictures and videos of the evening.

Diving from Holyhead

Diving from Holyhead

Hi All

Today (17/04/22) a few members of our club had a great day with the RIB out of Holyhead visiting the Skerries and south Stack whilst we hoped to get a dive the poor visibility spoilt this so we used the day to give David Baxendall the opportunity to go out in the club RIB to see how it can perform and to get behind the wheel and give it a go. Sea conditions were great and we were spoilt with lovely sunshine and relatively low winds Dave got the opportunity to drive the boat on the plane and practise man overboard drills in difficult sea conditions around the South Stack, figure eight turns and finally bring the boat back into the harbour following all the regulations.

As you can see from the photo, smiles all round.

We hope to organise more days like this throughout year and we will circulate dates for you to put in your diaries
