Caravan & Bang Hut
Max depth 25m
If you're travelling to Vobster Quay and require somewhere to stay overnight, there are plenty of hotels and homely bed & breakfast accommodations in the local area that will be happy to put you up for the night. For those looking for something a little different, though, be sure to check out Vobster Quay's very own onsite accommodation... Pete's Lurve Shack.

Donated by a former Vobster Quay staff member, Pete's Lurve Shack is a fully-equipped caravan that now lies submerged in the lake at a maximum depth of 25m. With lovely views of the lake and all mod cons, we regret that the damp-proofing isn't what it used to be. For divers in need of a quick stop over, though, it's well worth a visit.

To allow easy penetration for the suitably qualified, we've increased the height of the main window at the front of the caravan. Inside you'll find a lot of the original fittings still in place including a cooker, sink and even a shower! Unless you're trained and comfortable inside a confined space, though, we strongly recommend that you peer in through the windows rather than enter the caravan directly - leave the 'big push' to those qualified to do so.

Further along the far wall you'll find the Bang Hut. Originally used to store explosives, the Bang Hut is a small structure constructed from corrugated metal sheeting built around a wooden frame. Smaller than the caravan and lying in approximately 21m, it's possible for a diver with overhead training to easily swim around inside.

SAFETY FIRST - Only very experienced divers with overhead environment training should enter either attraction. Movement inside both is very restrictive and the cold, darkness and depth can be very disorientating. If in doubt, DO NOT ENTER!
