Training Course Venues . . .
Here at East Lancs Divers Club we use a few
various training sites to cover all aspects of your training from
your first step into the underwater world in the pool, to sheltered/open
water environments.
After your initial pool training you will
move onto an open water site, E.L.D.C. takes most of its trainee's
for there first open water experience in Capernwray
near Carnforth, this is the North West's premier diving centre,
we also use other sites such as Eccleston Delph & Coniston in
the Lake District.
More information on these sites is available
below along with links to their own websites (should they have one)
where you can get a full insight as to what you will see and what
facilities they have for the novice and professional diver.
 CAPERNWRAY
Just a few years ago, the old flooded
quarry at Capernwray, near Carnforth, was disused and abandoned
and visited only by a handful of local scuba divers.
Today, Jackdaw Quarry, as it is known locally, is home to
Capernwray Diving Centre, one of the most progressive and
professional scuba diving operations in the UK.
Picturesque location, easy parking,
clean water, Helthe omnipresent fish, enthusiastic and helpful
staff, a 60ft minesweeper, Murphy the dog…, there are
many reasons why divers return time and again to Capernwray.
The addition of a diver's clubhouse
that simply has no equal in this country further adds to the
other good reasons why we think Capernwray is an excellent
training location.

In 1978, Stoney Cove Marine Trials
Ltd was formed to develop the full potential of Stoney Cove
for scuba diving and commercial underwater activities. Since
then there has been a continuous programme of improvements
which began with a tarmac surface for the waterside parking
area. A shower facility and that most important item, a pub,
followed soon after. September 1999 saw the completion of
a new access road and entrance to Stoney Cove. Beneath the
new road is a drain system that directs rainwater and silts
from the cliffs and banks away from Stoney Cove during storms.
This has significantly improved underwater visibility during
rainy periods.
But that's not all. The Stanegarth,
the U.K.'s largest inland ship wreck, and the Nautilus submarine
have both provided major new attractions.
And the development of Stoney Cove
continues apace with work now started on a state-of-the-art
dive centre building containing new breathing gas production
facilities and a medical centre.
