The Golden Lion SAC

The Golden Lion SAC SCUBA and Snorkelling club based in Mold. (+ 1 monthly dry session in Mynydd Isa). Contact us for more info: goldenlionsac.org.uk

We meet at Mold Leisure Centre- Canolfan Hamdden Yr Wyddgrug most Wednesdays, 8pm, for social and training in the pool. The Golden Lion SAC is a very active and friendly club who enjoy weekly diving in various locations around North Wales and frequent trips to other parts of the UK and abroad. In the summer months we make good use of our fully equipped dive boat by visiting some of the beautiful reefs, wrecks and coves around Anglesey and North Wales. While in the winter those who still have the urge to dive visit inland sites or shore dives. Our BSAC Nationally Qualified Instructors teach practical skills and present lectures for all levels of Diver Qualification. Specialist courses, such as First Aid and Navigation, are also arranged regularly. We do not rush your training and pass you with only a couple of dives under your belt. We take time and care while working at a pace that suits you. Leaving you not only qualified but satisfied.

A call has gone out for volunteers who want to make a positive difference to support their local coastline. 🚮 👇

📸 Eurasian Oystercatcher
📍 Pensarn Beach

Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus)

This coastal bird is highly adapted to life along the shoreline, using its strong, flattened bill to feed on shellfish such as mussels and cockles. Interestingly, individuals can specialise in different feeding techniques, some hammer shells open, while others carefully pry them apart.

Despite being widespread, oystercatcher populations in the UK are declining due to habitat loss, coastal development, and disturbance during nesting.

How we can help:
Avoid disturbing nesting areas, keep dogs under control near shorelines, and respect protected coastal zones during breeding season.
