Page 13 - The email address for launching at Ty Calch has changed to tycalch@btinternet.com

Page 39 - The buoy for the wreck of the 'Asmund' has been replaced. See photo.


Page 156 The wreck of the 'Mona'. I understand that a fishing vessel now lies alongside the 'Mona'.

Page 195- A wind-farm has now been ‘planted’ close to the wreck of the ‘Penrhos’, and navigation-buoys are now moored to the north of the wind-farm. It’s now rather strange diving here, as even on the sea-bed, you can hear a loud ‘whoosh – whoosh’ from the machinery.

Page 200 -The "river cruiser" in Vivian quarry has been moved so that it points in a different direction

Page 220 - June 2010- The area around the slipway has been redeveloped, so the land previously available for parking is blocked off. Boat storage is now available at Porth Daniel, close to the slipway. However, the slipway has been widened and a parking area for trailers has been created immediately adjacent to the slip. See photos


New wider slipway Trailer Park

However, do read the nearby notice

Page 230 - The GPS position for Taldwrst Bach is slightly out. It should read 53 22.385 N 004 20.835 W. The Postcode and OS Reference Number are correct.

By-Laws

Page 238- As of the 1st April 2010, new regulations came into force regarding scallop-fishing around Wales. Scallop-dredging is now prohibited close inshore, a move that is bound to be welcomed by divers. For details, see the map at http:// wales.gov.uk/docs/drah/publications/100203scallopsummaryupdateden.pdf

In addition, the Sea Fishery Committees have ceased to exist as independent bodies in Wales, and the Welsh staff and resources of the two former Committees have now been amalgamated into the Welsh Assembly Government. However, they and their by-laws will in essence remain in place until they can be reviewed, so you can continue to refer to the Sea Fisheries Committee regulations.


Article 4 of The Scallop Fishing (Wales) (No 2) Order 2010 explains that it is an offence to "fish for, take or kill scallops in Welsh waters during the period 1 May to 31 October in each year by any means, including diving." However, for the calendar year of 2010, the period shall run from 1 June. In effect there is a blanket ban on removing scallops by any means at any time from Welsh waters during the specified months.


During the 'open' period, divers may only take scallops for personal consumption, so it is an offence for divers to sell scallops they take unless they are a registered seller of fish.
