Someone must have packed our Pembrokeshire sun. It’s been indecisively raining for days. Despite the winding wet morning, Lucy & Karen were well up for their second coasteer this week. They came out with us on Tuesday, but sea conditions were huge so we didn’t get very far. They booked another session for today and boy were they glad they …
Squaddie Madness
We took a bunch of Royal Anglian Regt lads out this afternoon. What a giggle….. They seemed quietly excited, some looked nervous, others were obviously taking it all in their stride. A nice little swell was pushing in, so we were able to utilize all our favourite water features including the “washing machine” and “tumble drier”. We started out gently, …
Rough Seas
Despite roughs seas and a strong wind, much fun was had by all in this mornings session. Coasteering at Abereiddi Bay. We were the first centre to arrive, so had our pick of routes and play spots.Timing is key in big swell and the group mastered it brilliantly. A very high tide made for some easy jumps, even the huge …
Ridgeback Puppy Photo’s
I was flicking through photo albums earlier and found these of a cute little bundle of cuteness. 24 Days Old Needless to say she’s blossomed into a beautiful ‘beast’, lol. Now 18 months, she still thinks she’s that cute little pup. Gets all confused when we notice her “sneaking” up on the sofa, lol. She likes nothing more than tormenting …
Phew long day today

Coasteering in the rain…
How much can it rain in one morning, LOTS is todays answer. We got to St Davids early and thought we’d put the kettle on while waiting for the group…… The skies opened, bucket loads of rain, but not cold. The girls pitched up, a little soggy and not too sure if we would go ahead. They had spent the …

Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia Aurita)
Most clients we take out Coasteering have an understandable fear of jellyfish. So I thought I’d give you an introduction to this beautiful creature. All jellyfish sting, however the moon jellies stinging tentacles cannot get through our skin (it’s too thick). The Medusa is translucent, usually about 5-40 cm across, and can be recognized by its four horseshoe-shaped gonads (like …
St Nons Coasteering
Met the group in St Davids. Four Americans and two Brits. Got kitted up with wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets etc. Walked 15 mins to coast then the adventure began. The cool water was refreshingly welcome and after the initial ‘wow that’s cold’ we all warmed up. There were loads of moon jelly fish about today. I’m guessing the calm warm …
