The Capernway Diving Centre in Lancashire, UK has been put up for sale.
The dive site is located within Jackdaw Quarry, and offers open water swimming with a large number of fish. The diving activities are varied and include training platforms, a jetty with two piers for deep-water entry, concrete slipway and two training areas with non-slip platforms. There are also numerous underwater attractions including a simulated cave and various aircraft.
The 24-acre (9.71-hectare) property also has a conference room, shop, restaurant, amenity block and equipment available for hire. Additionally, it has room for expansion and planning permission for 19 holiday chalets.
Richard Prestwich, leisure and trading director at Savills, the company handling the sale, said:
“This is a unique opportunity to acquire a well-established property in an ideal location for diving and swimming enthusiasts across the UK. We’re seeing a growing popularity of wild swimming, which is not only music to the ears of those already championing the dopamine rush of wild swimming, but also for landowners keen to find new ways of diversifying and providing social value. With planning permission and positive pre-application for 19 holiday chalets and nine pods, the site will also offer the buyer the opportunity to diversify the existing offering. Given the excellent offering coupled with the great location, we are expecting a high level of interest from a number of potential buyers.”
