West Wales Dive Company (WWDC) a.k.a. West Wales Divers, began life as an air filling station in an MOD shed in Talbenny back in 1968. It moved to Hasguard Cross in 1978 where it remained until the recession of 2008 when the retail section was closed down. The Air filling station has since then returned to Talbenny where camping and B&B facilities are also available and training and excursions are based in the seaside villages of Littlehaven & Broadhaven.
