Wales Best of the West -Episode 4: Stackpole Quay

Wales Best of the West

In this series about diving & marine life we explore the Welsh coast where we head to two dive sites in North Wales on the Llŷn Peninsula and two dive sites in Pembrokeshire in South Wales. The sites were chosen due to them having diverse range of habitats and species.

Tune in weekly to find out more about the marine life found off the Welsh coast and how the sites change when diving both day and night. We also bring light to new technologies to reveal more about the underwater world.

Episode 4 Stackpole Quay, South Wales

Stackpole quay brings the series to an end. The small cove is situated a few miles south of Pembroke. The stony cove hidden amongst the cliffs of the Pembrokeshire coast is a site full of life and the finger like reefs protruding from the coastline provides unique topography. The reefs provide a home to many species along with the adjacent sand creating suitable habitat for many ambush species. The site also had a fair amount of litter, therefore we undertook an underwater clean to raise awareness of the local underwater clean up charity Neptunes Army of Rubbish Cleaners (NARC).
