Capernwray Diving Centre - Carnforth

My favourite quarry to dive in the UK by far.

This place has the best wrecks, especially the passenger jet wreck, I love swimming through that!

Also some of their fish are huge!

The staff are always very friendly, and the food is really good too.

Highly recommend any scuba diver to come and dive here 🙂

What a stunning place! Yes it’s a quarry, but it’s fun and exciting under the water yet peaceful and quiet on dry land. The staff are just so genuine and helpful. Honestly, I’d never been there before and they couldn’t do enough to help! From helping with the air refills, to getting me a wet suit that fits and kept me warm, to talking to me about equipment I could buy. Even just the guy taking payment at the car park was so friendly. There’s a canteen which sells lovely hot and cold food, and you can go in even if you’re wet!! There are adequate changing facilities and hot showers which are welcome if it’s chilly. Feeding the beautiful carp / sturgeon etc was my absolute highlight - despite there being a plane submerged at 18m!! Highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back and get some more practice in

The water is crystal clear and feels like silk on your skin. The staff are helpful and friendly. The cheesy chips are delicious and the cakes devine. I wish I lived nearer. My favourite swim spot in Lancashire ♥️

Fabulous place to dive with amazing facilities including equipment hire, shop, showers and changing rooms, and a cafe serving drinks and hot food.
I've swum here for years and have recently completed a diving experience with Adam which was a great day - I learnt loads and really enjoyed myself.

A great place to scuba dive. Plenty of things to see underwater like a former mine sweeper HMS Podsnap, two planes, two helicopters, thunderbird 4, a diving bell, shipping container, amongst numerous other things to see. There’s a large shoal of hungry big brown trout. Several Koi carp which have grown immensely since I last saw them, there’s perch and some large sturgeon that are very inquisitive and always come around for a nosey. Platforms to do training on at different depths. Numerous buoys with ropes attached for practicing safety stops and the like. Visibility was very good today but it was pretty cold. So after our first dive I dropped my air tank off for a refill in the dive centre it was £7 for a 15ltr. My dive buddy bought a pair of gloves from the dive shop where there’s a good selection of dive accessories as his hands were freezing and his gloves were not keeping his hands warm enough to function correctly. We then entered the cafe area which was warm and welcoming, a hot drink and a freshly cooked bacon and egg sandwich was just what we needed to heat us up ready for dive number 2. Great place, friendly staff and a lovely Finish Lapphund that was behaving beautifully and wanted to share my bacon and egg sarnie but he’s on express orders from his owner not to eat everyone’s food so has a tag on his back asking people not to feed him. He’s a lovely dog. I really enjoyed it with our dive club the Yorkshire Mantas. We will be returning pretty soon. Thanks guys lovely to meet you.
