Key Points |
 |
Be very careful at this site as it has claimed
many divers. There is little in the way of emergency facilities and the
depths can be very tempting for some. |

Dorothea Quarry
Nantle, nr Penygroes, Caernarfon, Wales |
Overview |
Introduction
A great place to dive with lots of interesting features. Sadly
there are no facilities at all other than a rough track and
some space to park. It does get very busy at the weekend.
There are two main access points to the lake, both can be
a bit tricky when laden with kit etc.
I love this place!

- In Caernarfon follow signs for Porthmadog (A487)

Turn left staying on the A487.

houses, turn left along these and follow the track to the
quarry. If you pass the red telephone box on your left
you have gone too far. Backup about 100 yards.
