Diving at Capernwray

I am fortunate to live somewhere with easy access the sea, which means I've never got round to diving any of they UK's inland sites. Thanks to some vouchers I received as a gift from my lovely in-laws, we gave it a go today at in the former quarry at Capernwray.
It's very different to diving in the sea. There's generally much less life (especially on the rocks and bottom) but there are a few very large and very tame fish in the shallows. It's also pretty warm at this time of year, and with no current or waves it makes for very pleasant and easy diving. There are also other benefits such as nice changing facilites, and a cafe for a hot lunch. These luxuries are missing from the sort of lay-by I usually shore dive from!
A lovely day out.

	Curious fish as we enter the water.
	Ruth beside an aeroplane. They sink these things to make the otherwise dull quarry interesting for divers.
	Which way to first class?
	The wheels look a bit stuck.
	Ruth with the wreck called Podsnap.
	Ruth in the very clear water.
	Ruth on the "oil rig". I don't think there's really oil here, but it's very patriotically adorned.
	Ruth and I.
	The quarry between dives. Just a slight hint of drizzle to remind you that you're still in the North...
	Ruth with fish.
	Fish.
	Another fish.
	I bet you thought this would be another fish, but no! It's Ruth riding a fiberglass cartoon horse.
