- Andy Heslop has been wanting to do this dive for years but its a bit out of the way & only short so we did it as a 2nd dive after Devils Bridge. The water was crystal clear & Justin Owen found a nice little swim through beneath the bridge. After the dive we had a lovely bar meal at the Newfield Inn..
It's a cave down the water,you can see the beauty of it's clear water,enjoy scuba diving,let's stay connected
Great quality film and dive, with an unexpected feature discovered Andy. Thanks.
I've always wanted to get in to diving,it looks awesome.
Just do it
Always was thought to swim against the current on the outbound journey. Amazing video but hurt my ocd for a second at the end but its shallow and not too bad.x
Nice little dive Thanks for sharing, reminds me a little of Devils Bridge but on a smaller scale
This is a nice video and commentary. I enjoy river diving myself, well worth doing.
Nice one Andrew - only just spotted this! :)
Looks nice for a wild swim!
I watched some other divers going through there recently I'm looking at getting into diving but I will have a metal detector in my hand to find the lost treasure 😄
LOOKS LIKE A FUN DIVE, BRISK!
Yes , even in summer the water is cold & clear
different little dive thanks for sharing.
Great video.
Good things come in small packages, looks absolutely gorgeous. Got to be some of the clearest water in this muddy, rainy archipelago?
Magic stuff
Cool vid do you use dry suit here in uk
If you live on the south coast of England & only sea dive in summer you could get away with a thick wetsuit but this dive was in the north in freshwater in winter so water temp was around 4c or if you prefer 39f so needed a drysuit. When I was younger I dived all year in a wetsuit but it was 8mm x 2 so I could hardly move.
If your up in the lakes again over the summer would you mind me tagging along?
Niceee👍
How do you get to this exact spot? What’s the post code?
Co-ordinates for the bridge are 54.383834 - 3.180650. I think the postcode is LA20 6EF
Hi there,
I'm helping to organise Eskfest 17, a small community festival held in Eskdale, Lake district on the 7-8th July: eskfest.com/ We're looking for some outdoor edits about Cumbria and the Lake District that can be continually screened in one of the tents to add to the atmosphere and celebrate the beauty of Cumbria - and this video would be perfect for this! Any chance that we could play your video over the weekend? it's something that would be great to be a part of.
Look forward to hearing from you

Yes, and it was very nice, crisp & cold with no taint
