Dive-site story
Situated in North Yorkshire, this inland diving venue occupies a flooded former limestone quarry operated for open-water diver training and recreational dipping. Submerged training platforms, sunken vehicles, and artificial swim-throughs sit across a silty bottom surrounded by shallow shelving banks. Divers regularly encounter freshwater coarse fish hovering near weed beds and underwater structures.
Multiple purpose-built training platforms linked by guideline navigation routes
Sunken attractions including vehicle wrecks, boats, and cockpit mockups
