Training Platforms Various Depths between 6m and 36m...

Whether you're a visiting dive school or just want to practise some skills, you'll find a generous selection of training platforms dotted around the lake. Available to all divers, these raised training platforms provide fixed areas in which to teach and practice dive skills at a variety of recognised depths. As all platforms are raised up off the quarry floor, the risk of reduced visibility is minimised.

For entry level training purposes, we provide two training platforms placed at six metres with additional platforms at nine and twelve metres. For more advanced training, deeper training platforms have been placed at 20, 25 and 36m. All platforms are constructed from steel scaffolding poles with thick wooden planks forming a solid base. To aid the containment of training activities to the confines of the platforms, two of the four sides have raised hand rails.

The training platforms located at 6, 9 and 12m are ideally placed for giving your courses 'added interest' too. Once you've completed your skills training, you can take your students off on a short guided tour of a number of major attractions, all of which are located within a very short distance of the platforms. By swimming your students less than 10 metres between the 6 and 9m platforms, for example, they'll encounter the wreck of a small boat.

SAFETY FIRST - Due to depth and very poor visibility, only experienced divers equipped with an alternative air source should visit the 36m platform. Trust us - it's very dark, very cold and there's nothing to see down there!
