Posted: 13/12/2017 15:13:10 Reply \| Quote Hi I am looking for any underground quarry lakes that might be suitable for diving in. They will need to be reasonably near the entrance and parking. I am not looking for flooded tunnels just lakes that we could dive in. If you have any ideas I would be interested them. Thanks Michael IP: 213.205.252.247

Yes bump even open water areas under ground can be littered with obstacles and the chance of zero visibility with one wrong fin kick and should only be dived by people with correct training and experience with navigation, equipment and lines -- "I Dont Know Where I am Going, But When I Get There I will Know Where I am" IP: 2.103.84.40

Posted: 13/12/2017 17:17:57 Reply \| Quote OK I have been caving for the past 27 years mostly in the caves and mines of North Wales and a member of the NWCRO for about 20 years. While I have done lots of trips in the slate mines/quarries my main interest has been in digging in the caves around Wrexham. I haven't paid much attention to the possible lakes for diving in. I have been diving since 2007 mostly around North Wales. I am a member of Gwynedd sub aqua club. I am not a cave diver which is why I am looking for lakes to dive in as apposed to tunnels. I am looking for some interesting places to dive over the winter while the boat is put away. I hope that helps. Michael IP: 2.27.40.99

The whole approach diving in dark spaces whether tunnels or open pools is totally different . Maybe I am wrong ?

I have amongst other things done the mine diver course and it is a very good intensive course where you will develop a lot of new skills -- "I Dont Know Where I am Going, But When I Get There I will Know Where I am" IP: 2.103.84.40 Edited: 18/12/2017 12:11:38 by Paul Marvin
