Company description We are a very friendly club, always ready to welcome new members whether they are complete beginners or qualified divers.
We are an active club, diving in British waters every season and also in more exotic locations like the Red Sea and the Maldives to name a couple.
We offer training courses in scuba diving and related activities such as powerboat handling and diver first aid to internationally recognised standards.
The Llantrisant Sub-Aqua Club has been in existence for over 40 years and currently has members from all over South Wales and even further afield.
We meet every Monday night at the Llantrisant Leisure Centre where we hold our pool training. We do most of our UK based diving off the Pembrokeshire Coast in West Wales. We have three club boats comprising one 5.5 metre and two 6.5 metre RIBs which are kept at the West Wales Diving Centre.
Club members are trained by a team of enthusiastic, experienced divers so that they become both competent and safe divers with qualifications that reflect the high standards expected by the Sub Aqua Association. Refresher training sessions for qualified divers ensure that good practices are maintained, safety being the paramount consideration.
We also offer courses within the SAA structure for members to develop their practical and theoretical skills. Individuals are encouraged to achieve qualifications in oxygen administration, boat handling, VHF radio operation, first aid, diver rescue, underwater photography and many others.
Brief History
The club was founded in 1960 as the ``Underwater Spartans`` and is now one of the oldest established sub-aqua clubs in Wales.
Training was initially held in an outdoor pool but then moved to Guildford Crescent swimming pool in Cardiff and then finally to the pool at Llantrisant Leisure Centre in Mid. Glamorgan. The club transferred to Tonyrefail for a short period but was relaunched as Llantrisant Sub-Aqua Club in 1982.
Today the club meets regularly every Monday evening at Llantrisant Leisure Centre pool for training and then at Dylan`s Bar on level 3 to provide a social dimension.
Location description: We all look forward to our trips abroad but the experience can be spoiled if we become unwell whilst away.
As an active Diving Club, we like to travel to different parts of the world to indulge in our passion for scuba diving. There are many beautiful places around the world with breathtaking coral reefs for divers to explore.
As a club based in South Wales we are very fortunate to live close enough to dive around the Pembrokeshire Coast, the only coastal national park in the UK and an area of ``outstanding natural beauty`` which also incorporates the Skomer Marine Nature Reserve.
Pembrokeshire is also an area rich in wildlife with many species of birds and mammals to be found. Some of the offshore islands are famous for their bird colonies such as the Gannets of Grassholme and the Manx Shearwaters of Skomer. Many of the more remote beaches and islands become home to seals during the breeding season and dolphins and porpoises are often sighted in the area.
As well as the breathtaking coastal scenery, Pembrokeshire`s underwater environment is also very scenic and abundant with a diversity of marine life. The strong sea currents which race around this stretch of coastline carry food and nutrients to ensure a healthy growth of both plants and animals within this marine environment.
With many wrecks in the area for divers to explore and underwater visibility up to 15 metres this area is a superb venue for sports divers.
When diving in the area, we base ourselves at the West Wales Diving Centre at Hasguard Cross (marked on the map below as a red square) We keep our club boats and tractor here and launch from local sites such as Broad Haven, Little Haven, Dale and Gelliswick (marked on the map below as red circles).
From these launch sites we can reach many of our favourite dive locations at any state of the tide and in almost any weather conditions
There are literally dozens of excellent dive sites around this area of coast
