Island
Horsea
Island Lake is home to the Defence Diving School and has been open to the
public for several years now. The lake is about 1000 metres long, 100
metres wide and averages 5m in depth making it an ideal training site.
An 
"advanced"
area 10 metres in depth is also available but not open all the time.
A lot of military junk has been thrown into the lake to give divers plenty
to look at and there are also several training platforms. Visibility
can vary depending on the time of year and the number of
divers using it at the time, but 6 metres of visibility is not uncommon.
The marine life in the lake is quite interesting, with prolific numbers of
jellyfish, blennies, bass, crabs and freshwater eels. There is even
a lobster down there. Entry fees vary; you can pay on the gate for £14.00
or book through Triton Scuba in advance for £11.00.
