HALLOWEEN NIGHT DIVE
GHOULS, GHOSTS AND WITCHES ASSEMBLE - IT'S HALLOWEEN!
Boo! Grab your dive gear, charge those torches and dig out your scariest fancy dress outfit for our final night dive of 2026 on the spookiest night of the year - Halloween! There will be tricks 'n' treats aplenty with awesome opportunities to win great prizes as we celebrate all things spooky, ghoulish and just a little bit terrifying!
Scary pumpkins and all manner of other Halloween silliness will be making an appearance on Saturday 31st October so why not join us for a very special evening of spooky night diving? This will be our final night dive of 2026 so grab your brightest dive torches and your scariest outfits for what promises to be a spooktacular - and very silly - evening of Halloween fun!

To get you all in the 'spirit', we encourage all divers to dress up in their scariest Halloween attire. Whether you're a ghoul or a ghost, a witch or a werewolf, all demonic diving denizens are welcome. We'll be handing out prizes to the best dressed and running a very special free 'Graveyard Games' trail in the lake with even more prizes to be won. We'll also be firing up our wonderful 'Heatwave' fire pit in the far corner of the car park for visitors to kick back and enjoy the spooky vibes.

With an out of the water time of 22:00, there will be plenty of time to finish the day job and then head to Vobster Quay for a spooky night dive or two! Food and gas will be available until 21:00 - sorry we can't do cheeky fills or burgers after that. Once your evening is complete, we ask that all frightful visitors are paid up and heading off home on their broomsticks no later than 22:30.

Booking for this Halloween-themed night dive is open now so book now. This event is open to all divers including dive schools, clubs, members and non-members alike. Note that you must book in advance for this event - please do not just show up on the evening!

MEET THE 'VOBSTER LOBSTERS'
A night dive at Vobster Quay brings one awesome benefit - the opportunity to catch a glimpse of our famous white-clawed crayfish. They make look a bit scary but don't worry - they're very shy so spotting them is a real treat!

The darker hours offer the perfect opportunity to spot the white-clawed crayfish as they go about their business scurrying around the various nooks and crannies to be found on the lake floor. Why not indulge in a bit of 'citizen science' by helping us to track their distribution within the lake? You can report your sightings (and post up pictures!) to our official White-clawed Crayfish Conversation Project on the Project Baseline website. We'd love you to get involved!

JOIN THE GRAVEYARD GAMES!
This Halloween... the water is haunted! Dare you brave our free Graveyard Games trail that will lead you to a special Halloween treat? At this year's Halloween night dive, we'll be running our Graveyard Games challenge for divers bold enough to take to the waters during the Witching hours.

Our Graveyard Games will see you and your buddy take on the ultimate spooky challenge - to locate within the lake a series of carved Halloween pumpkins, each marked with a letter of the alphabet. Locate all the pumpkins and they'll spell out a spooky word - once you've worked out what the word is, just pop into the shop to claim your prize! To make things a little easier, we'll be handing out a laminated clue sheet to divers who want to take part - request yours from the shop when you sign in.

We'll also be handing out a prize to the best dressed Halloween diver so dig out your most terrifying Halloween-themed fancy dress and join us on the quayside. Whether you're a werewolf, a witch or a diving demon, fancy dress is thoroughly encouraged - we'll be handing out prizes for the scariest outfits!
