Capernwray Dive Centre is a large flooded former quarry, presently operated as an inland scuba diving site and training centre, near the village of Over Kellet, Lancashire, England.
Formerly a 22-acre limestone quarry, after the end of its commercial use it flooded and was later converted into a dive centre.[1]
Capernwray has a range of depths to 80 feet (24 m).[1] There is a small dive shop, with a filling station providing air and nitrox as well as a licensed restaurant. There are two sets of training platforms with levels at 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) and 6 metres (20 ft).[citation needed] As of 2010, the centre received around 30,000 visitors per year.[2]
As well as being stocked with fish including trout, perch and at least two sturgeon, the underwater attractions include:
