Underwater village

[Deano The Diver]

Does anyone know of a reservoir in wales that has an underwater village that you can dive???????

Not sure about Wales, but isn't there one in Ladybower reservoir in the Peak District?

I dont know of any in wales or elsewhere that you can dive.

The reason being that in most cases the flooding has been done by a water company to create reserves of potable water. As such most, if not all, refuse access to divers (but are happy to allow fishing and boating?). I'm told that Kielder Reservior has such a village and there's a pettion being put together by local divers to be allowed to dive there.

hope that helps one thing to bare in mind the lake is over 1 mile square so you may need a few dives to find it

A few have tried to organise a dive, however authorisation has been declined by the water authority...

'Authorisation'?

kit up, splash in, et voila! dive sorted
