Capernwray, situated about 10 miles beneath the Lake District in our opinion offers the best above and underwater facilities of any UK inland dive site. The only thing it lacks is depth for the more advanced training.
It has a maximum depth of around 22m but most of the “wrecks” lay between 6m – 15m, which makes it ideal for the newly certified diver. The “wrecks” include 6 boats, 2 helicopters and a Cessna plane. There are also 2 huge cartoon horses, which make an ideal photo opportunity and the mandatory gnome garden!
Down the gravel entry slipway and around the main entry points you will find numerous trout (some very large!). You can purchase fish food from reception to feed these tame creatures and they will even eat out of you hands.
Having so many underwater attractions, Capernwray is the ideal location to take part in the PADI Underwater Navigation Course. Also having such clear waters Capernwray makes a good location to conduct the PADI Underwater Photography Course.
In Capernwrays new ‘state of the art’ dive centre you will find full conference facilities, 1st class shower facilities and a modern restaurant serving homemade food all day (drysuits allowed!). For the non divers and between dives there is a large balcony area looking over the lake, ideal for a little après dive!
Air fills are available up to 300bar and nitrox available to those certified to use it.
We often take our newly certified divers here to build up there diving experience. Check out our Dive Trips page for further details.
