One of the most popular sites on North Wales coast

Trefor Pier is one of the most popular dive sites on the North Wales coast and for good reason. It provides excellent diving whether you are a novice doing your 1st sea dive in the UK or a more experienced diver. It is also a great site for photographly as marine life is exellent.
Trefor Pier itself was built in 1912 and closed in 1971. The wooden pier is about 70 meters long and 8 meters wide and built at the end of a stone breakwater.
When diving you should enter the water at the breakwater steps and do a surface swim until you get to the pier ( this is quite a swim) you should also surface under the pier at the end of your dive as Trefor is a working port.
Trefor is best dive about 1/1-5 hrs before high-water. Which is approximately 2 hrs before Liverpool’s high-water(GMT). You will need a southerly wind for best visidility which can be up to 10 meters. On a spring-tide maximum depth can be up to 7 or 8 meters and low-water is about 4 meters.
You can expect to see lots of marine life.Octpus,edible-crab, pipefish, lobstar, dogfish and many more but you will have to look carefully. Also look out for lost fishing hooks and line as the pier is a very popular fishing site. It is also a good night dive site but remember to stay under the pier at all times as fishermen like it at night too.
You cannot get a fill of air here so make sure you have plenty for your dive. There are picnic tables, toilets and emergency phone near by.
Have a good safe dive.
