Cars & Truck Wrecks Various between 6m and 26m

Flooded quarries seem to attract dumped vehicles and Vobster Quay is no exception. Two of the wrecks were placed in the lake by us but the remaining vehicles have a far more mysterious past - lucky their occupants decided not to stay with their vehicles...

The lake is home to no fewer than four car wrecks (that we know of, at least) plus an upturned lorry wreck that can be found up in the far right hand corner of the lake lying in just 10m of water. Although it's a long swim, the lorry is worth checking out purely for novelty value. If you're lucky enough to own a DPV then the truck makes a great dive - just follow the lake around with the wall on your right shoulder at a depth of about 8m and you should find it...

The two most recent additions to our growing collection of car wrecks is a Vauxhall Astra that you'll find at the bottom of the 26m pit infront of the quayside and a Ford Escort parked nose against the wall near the tail section of the aircraft. Although the doors and rear tailgates on both vehicles can be opened, we strongly advise against any diver attempting to enter these vehicles - look but don't enter!

An older upturned car wreck can be found further around from the aircraft tail section whilst the more adventurous may stumble across the wreck of a seemingly intact car smack bang in the centre of the 26m area off to the right of the quayside. Quite how it got there is still a mystery...

SAFETY FIRST - Although several of the vehicle wrecks can be penetrated, we strongly recommend that divers do not attempt to do so. Be safe - look but do not enter.
