Capernwray - Great for open water training
Many qualified divers will have taken their first dive in open water in Capernwray. Its a good place to carry on your training and build confidence in your diving skills.
We like to use Capernwray for open water qualifiying dives because it has reasonably good visibility and things to see. First dives are normally a walk in entry down the slip before heading toward the training area. On your way in you will encounter the resident fish population as you adjust your buoyancy and get used to being in water a little deeper than the pool. Then its a look round at the platforms and the odd horse - you'll understand when you do it - before heading back for a surface interval before your next dive when you'll be asked to perform some of the skils you practised in the pool.
