AIRCRAFT WRECK at Capernwray Quarry, the UK's Finest Inland Dive Site

Capernwray is often regarded as the UK’s finest inland diving centre and it's easy to see why. I'd heard the visibility can be much better than other places... and we planned for a weekday dive so it wasn't too busy, but I wasn't expecting crystal clear (almost blue) water! It was really fab - 10 - 15 metres.
If that wasn't enough, there is a whole host of awesome underwater attractions and amazing fish life. We saw large sturgeon, colourful carp and plenty of perch. All the fish are very inquisitive of the divers, so it's easy to get photos!
Another great feature of the site is the exceptionally easy access to the water - there's a very gently sloping shingle beach that makes entries and exists quite pleasurable. There's a shop, cafe, toilets and showers for divers and non-divers. We were lucky to have pretty much the whole site to ourselves. The other thing I noticed was that all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I understand it gets pretty busy at weekends though, so the experience might not be quite the same.
The lake has varying depths but is great for beginners and those gaining experience, as there's a lot to see in the shallower area.

Great sea life down there along with all sorts of other relics old & not so old. Great soundtrack, well thought out as always 👌

[@ayaanchitty]

Thanks… not quite sealife though as it’s just a quarry, but know what you mean, there’s a lot of friendly fish! Very nice dive site 😊

[@deborahsimmons9619]

@@ayaanchitty yes, I meant the fish! 🤭

[@teppicxxviii9744]

Whoa, great place, nicely decorated, and great pictures! Is there a diving center nearby to go there as a tourist?

[@ayaanchitty]

[@ayaanchitty]

It really is! Best inland site I've been to in the UK!

I love Capernwray. Did you spot the white mannequin? It gets moved around a lot. At the Apex van last time I saw it. Gave me quite a shock 🤣

[@ayaanchitty]

😂 yes, it was in one of the boats, can’t recall which one though! Great place isn’t it.

Odd video

Thanks for your comment! Have a great day 😎

Odd? How?

[@ayaanchitty]

@@SaltySeaQueen-nn8wm Not sure why it's odd... may not be to everyone's liking... or maybe it was the sunken aircraft in a quarry in the middle of the English countryside?!
