Caravan enthusiasts staying at one of the UK’s many coastal resorts could have world-class sporting facilities within easy reach without even knowing it.
That is because the 11,000 miles of coastline offer scuba diving that is equal to any destination in the world, according to the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC).
Spokesperson Alison Dando said that those taking part in diving experience a “completely new environment”.
“There are so many places and, for UK divers, we all have our favourite and I think you will never run out of places to dive,” she said.
A BSAC members’ poll in 2008 found that Scapa Flow in Orkney was the favourite site among British divers.
Visitors to the area can see a fleet of around 12 German vessels scuttled during the second world war.
Meanwhile, the organisation recently revealed that its Try Dive sessions in September and October attracted almost double the number of people they did last year.
