St Brides is a shore accessible salt water dive site, located at Hasguard Cross,, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire SA62 3SJ, United Kingdom. This dive site has an average rating of 3.00 out of 5 from 1 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 36-40ft/11-12m. The average visibility is 11-15ft/3-5m. This dive site provides bathrooms and airfills.
This site is a fantastic shallow shore dive, popular for training dives and novices alike. It has a sandy bottom, with a narrow mouth to the bay, with kelp starting at the mouth of the bay, which is normally where you’ll swim to in order to begin the dive. Lots of stuff to see here, although generally, the species tend to be smaller here than in Martin’s Haven, possibly due to the fact that this are is outside the marine area, and people take from here. Nonetheless, follow the left hand side around and out of the bay if you want to explore the kelp beds. Maximum depth is about 12-14m if you’re prepared to swim a distance out! The right hand side is a little shallower but has some cracking swim throughs and one or two interesting tunnels to explore (for the thinner divers amongst you!). This site is only 5 minutes from the dive shop, so easy to run your tanks back to be filled.
TIPS: Again, use some form of SMB here, as there can be other boat traffic around especially from one club that launches from here and tends to come into the bay still at speed! The currents are next to nothing, although you will get some surge and surf at the mouth of the bay on a low or changing tide.
