An outdoor diving and swimming centre in Lancashire has been put on the market.

The freehold of Capernwray Diving Centre, near Carnforth, is being sold by Hack Enterprises Ltd, with an undisclosed asking price.

Set within Jackdaw Quarry, the well-established national diving centre offers varied diving activities, including training platforms, a jetty with two piers for deep water entry, a concrete slipway and two training areas with non-slip platforms.

The centre also offers open water swimming and is home to a large number of fish, and there are numerous underwater attractions including a simulated cave and various sunken aircraft.

On the property away from the water, there is a conference room, shop, restaurant, amenity block and equipment available for hire.

The centre sits on a site extending 24 acres with 250 car parking spaces, and benefits from planning permission for 19 holiday chalets, as well as a positive pre-application response for nine pods.

The property sits two miles from the J35 of the M6 and can be accessed off Capernwray Road.

Richard Prestwich, director of leisure and trading at Savills, which is marketing the centre, 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 growth in 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.”

Anyone interested in the site should contact Savills.
