Much of this information comes from the books written by Tom Bennett - the original wreck expert. Look out for his books - Welsh Shipwrecks, Vol 1,2,3 and "Shipwrecks Around Wales" Volumes 1 & 2
If you want any advice or information about diving these wrecks, please give as a call for a chat or send us an email. Many of these dives are not the easiest because of tidal flow - we can predict when it should be slack but cannot guarantee it.
