Dive-site story
Set in a flooded limestone quarry near Pontefract in Yorkshire, this inland diving facility serves as a primary training and recreational hub. The lake features gentle shelving entries alongside purpose-built training platforms positioned at varying depths. Submerged attractions including boats, vehicle wrecks, and swim-through pipes are connected by guideline ropes, making underwater navigation straightforward across the silt bottom.

Seasonality
Warmer water temperatures make late spring through early autumn the most comfortable period for training, though the site opens year-round.
