Company description Clwb Dan-y-Mor was formed in 1983 by a small team of experienced local divers based around the Cardiff area. From the early days Dan-y-Mor has had diver training at the forefront of its activities. The club is a member club of the SAA and WASAC.
Four of the original group are still with the club, and the membership is now in excess of 30. We meet at the UWIC pool, Cyncoed Campus each Monday. The club has its own RIB and regular diving trips are organised.
The club trains in accordance with the guidelines set out by the SAA. The SAA sets out the guidelines and standards, which the club follows in training and certifying our members.

The training programme has been devised to ensure that the novice moves through the grades of competence in an enjoyable and progressive way, each new level of training building on what has previously been learnt. This means that a novice learns to dive using an extensive system of evening classes and pool sessions spread over WEEKS rather than days.
Once you start diver training and when ready, you will make the transition from pool to the open sea. Naturally, being introduced to open water diving in an area known to be safe will make this as easy and enjoyable as possible.
By training with your club you will not ``learn to dive`` in 20 minutes. Most courses are taught over weeks or months. However, in those weeks, you will learn to dive with people you know and trust. As a newcomer you are assured of a safe and fun introduction to diving in the company of like-minded people who are willing to give their time to ensure the best possible training in a friendly, sociable atmosphere.
So you can enjoy our regular diving programme, and appreciate the advantage of diving with other Club members - and enjoy the social side, too.
Location description: Our Dive Sites
The Mohegan
Built 1897 as Cleopatra. 482ft x 52ft. 6889-ton four-masted liner. 894hp triple-expansion engines.
Cargo: General, including 3000 slabs of tin, fruit, spirits, beer, linoleum, matches, cheese, nutmeg, preserves, jute, rice, books, coffee, toys, lard, pepper, tobacco, bacon, horse hair, furniture, lace, church ornaments. 53 passengers and 103 crew.
Depth: 26m.
Boilers at deepest part. Bow shallower at 20 -23m. Hull has collapsed, leaving ribs and shallow compartments, do not enter, there have been diver deaths here. Dive only at slack. Beware, strong tides. Some say that this wreck is haunted!
The Solør
8262t - Norwegian Oil Tanker. Steel hull. Home port Oslo.
Depth: Top: 3m to -0.5m Seabed: 5m to 12m
Part of convoy HX-332. Torpedoed in the Irish Sea on 27 Jan 1945 by U825 (Gerhard Stoelker). Two days later she was beached at Oxwich to allow the removal of her cargo. forty of her forty four man crew survived. Broke in two, some sources say that the bow and stern were raised and made into a new ship, what remains is midships. In fact the aft section was towed to Briton Ferry leaving the fore section for local scrap.
The whole ship has collapsed from the inside out so penetrating the hull is now less dangerous than swimming around the side of the wreck. BE CAREFUL.
Gravel seabed. Artifacts to be found include fishing weights, oil, mussels.
A real photographers wreck, quite recognisable as a wreck, quite big as well and stuffed full of marine life, there are loads of nice conger here, Beware there can sometimes be overfalls around the point, the waves come not sideways but from above. Because of the depth you get all day on her and she`s easy to find on a rising tide as for ages she sticks up slightly.
You can find her on an echo sounder too, motor parallel to the shore of Oxwich point, when you see a large arrow painted on the rock move in towards the shore. Its around here.
The Magazan
500 tons - Lighter
Depth: 11m
Usually a good dive, with plenty of marine life. Dive MUST be at slack water as current runs up to 4 knots. Beware, wreck is close to shipping lanes. Hydrofoils pass every hour in summer. (Contact St. Helier Port Control). Wreck stands proud of sand/rock seabed approx` 3m. Bow and stern still intact, but centre section is lying flat on seabed.
