Page 123 - The Nature Trail & Telephone Cables. On a really good neap tide, we found that high-water slack was about 2 hours and 15 minutes before high-water Liverpool, not 2 hours as stated. As
mentioned in the book, I still can't recommend diving at this time, as slack-water is either too brief or non-existent. Always dive at low-water slack on a neap tide. The website that gave the current underwater visibility at http://straits.bangor.ac.uk is no longer available to view. (Aug 2009)
