Wastwater is 3 miles long and half a mile wide. There are plently of places for entry. A good place for training with lots of different depths.

Wastwater is easy to find on all maps of the Lake District. Off the A595, east of Seascale.

Wastwater

Good viz mid-week, poor at weekends due to large numbers of divers.

Training platforms, lots of small wrecks and friendly fish.

Artificial "caves" made from shipping containers and a diving bell or two.

Near Carnforth

Capernwray  Quarry

Dive site situated on the River Lune. Diving is allowed between the two bridges at certain times of year. All divers must contact the local Tourist Information Office in advance.

Preferred entry is the beach just past the second bridge which allows divers to drift under both bridges.

Devil's Bridge is also known as Kirkby Lonsdale.

Devil's Bridge

The Glendun sunk near 1940. The wreck is broken in multiple parts. The masterpiece of this dive is the boiler (8-12m).

South of Maughold Head, on the east coast of the Isle of Man.
Note: GPS is very approximate :)

The Glendun Wreck

Can't fault the site facilities, but Vis is usually poor and there isn't much to see. You could see all the attractions in a day.

The dive is to follow the base of the Iron Pier, in and out of the under-water structure. The marine life is great with a lot of crustaceans.

The Dolphin few minutes from the end of the pier. This is a concrete structure, not a mammal!

Northern side of the island; Out from Ramsey Beach.

The Iron Pier and The Dolphin

Very nice dive with some Seals.
Note: After the dive, have a try on the Groudle Glen Railway :)

Groudle Glen cove, 2 nautical miles north Douglas.
You can start the dive into the river and continue on your left (nort) to the Kelp Forest.

Groudle Glen

A large lake with a few sunken objects. 5m platform for training. Things to see include a yacht, fishing coble, speedboat, concrete pipes that you can swim through, Transit Van, caravan and several cars.

Enter the Ellerton Park site and take the first left to get to the car park used by divers.
Enter lake from small pier a few meters from car parking. Either giant stride into water or use steps.

Ellerton is also known as Ellerton Park.

Ellerton

The highest point of the wreck is at 27m, so attracts the densest shoal of pouting.
For a no-stop dive, returning to the shotline to ascend should be OK, but as soon as the dive gets into decompression it would be best to send up a delayed SMB and drift.


Conway Bay. There is not much of this sailing ship standing above the seabed, so it is the sort of wreck where a shotline is dropped into the middle of whatever echo can be found, rather than attempting to hook onto a specific major structure.

Chacabuco Wreck

Located off Santon Head in 25 metres of water. This wreck makes for a pleasant dive with the remains of the wreck scattered around the intact engine and boilers. Many fish patrol the wreck. Nice sealife with plenty of congas. Must be dived only at slack water.
