Vivian Quarry is a small, sheltered dive site located at the bottom of the Snowdonia mountain railway, in the beautiful town of Llanberris.
Vivian has a maximum depth of around 20 metres but has few shallow areas for Open Water course training. Temperature in the summer reaches 17 degrees, falling to 5 degrees in the winter.
Despite being quite a small dive site, Vivian has quite a few under water attractions including an old motor cruiser, many old quarry buildings, a few dumped cars and the mandatory Gnome Garden. There’s not much fish life in here though, just a few eels.
Vivian Quarry is a relatively easy site to dive and is suitable for the new-ish diver but just be aware that the location of this dive site is near to altitude so the appropriate dive planning precautions should be taken.
At the entrance to the dive site you will find a small shop offering 232 bar air fills.
