History

Formerly a limestone quarry, after the end of its commercial use it flooded and was later converted into a dive centre.

Diving centre

Used as a training centre, Capernwray has a range of depths to 21 metres (69 ft). 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).
