The Vendome is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Abercastle, Pembrookeshire, United Kingdom. This dive site has an average rating of 3.00 out of 5 from 1 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 111-120ft/34-37m. The average visibility is 16-20ft/5-6m.
GETTING THERE: Follow the M4 and A40 to Fishguard and on to Goodwick (where the ferry terminal is). Celtic Diving is next to Ocean Lab on the waterfront.
TIDES: Slack water is essential and occurs approximately 1.5 hours before high water Milford Haven and 4.5 hours after high water Milford Haven. Because there are unstable back-eddies as the tide passes Strumble Head, slack can vary considerably with weather and spring tides.
HOW TO FIND IT: GPS co-ordinates are 52 00.479N, 005 05.353W (degrees, minutes and decimals). Against the reef with bow to the north-west, stern to the north-east, the wreck is very difficult to locate, the boiler being the highest point.
