This dive site offers a unique inland diving experience located in a large lake, accessible from London and Gatwick Airport. It's been carefully developed by Oyster Diving with the support of Aquasports, ensuring a controlled environment for divers. The lake provides clear, fresh water teeming with fish – including perch, pike, and sizeable carp – creating an engaging underwater world. Divers can explore interesting features such as the remains of a Cessna plane and navigate through an artificial underwater forest. The site is conveniently situated between the M25 and M23 motorways, making it easily reachable. Access is provided via train (Merstham or Redhill from London Victoria) or bus (Redhill Bus Station, Platform 4 to Mill Lane in Merstham – a 12-minute walk around the lake). Facilities include a café, hot showers for men and women, and ample parking. Diving is exclusive to Oyster Diving to maintain a pleasant diving atmosphere. Multiple dive sites are available.
