Hello All,
I may be going on a dive to the Segontium next Sunday, from reading up on it in the Wreck tours site it seems the best time to dive it is slack water.
Can anyone tell me the best place to launch RIBS to get to it would be?
If anyone knows a decent website to find tidal data I would also be grateful, have looked at the BBC Weather site and another one they only give predictions 6 days in advance.
Thanks in advance

I take it the prediction website is this one? http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/EasyTide/index.aspx
You can get software (a bit of Googling required for latest versions) that will do the prediction, some of them do the UK tides based on the UKHO equations.
You might find the local authority website have local tidal info. Hit and miss though.

Launch at Trefor or Rhoscolyn. About the same distance to Segontium.

Just love that wreck, spent hours diving on her.
Not dived her for two years.
We only ever launched our RIB from Trearddur Bay

Not got a website, but I can email you tide tables for any area of the UK you want - PM me with the area and an email address and I'll mail them to you.

The software provided here is brilliant - and free for the whole world.

There was a problem with UK harmonics some years ago, but they've found a way round that now.

Hmmm... As far as I remember for me it just installed. What steps did you take to install it?
