<font color='#0000FF'>I was idly browsing the web, trying to find somewhere different within two hours of Wigan, when I found a trip run by Lunesdale dive club to Beesly Falls.

The posting says   &quot;An interesting energetic river dive in two parts - 1st pot @4m, 2nd @14m. All grades&quot;

I have dived Devils Bridge, and several sites in Lakes, so was intrigued.

But I cant find anything about it anywhere else on net.
As the trip was late November, must be diveable in Winter, wherever it is.

Any body any idea ?

Done this dive a couple of times a few years ago now not dived it recently. &nbsp;From what I recall it consists of a couple of basin like pools flowing straight into each other. Can't recall the max depth being more than 10m. &nbsp;After periods of heavy rain the currents are very strong in the pools,( i dived it in summer low water conditions and it was pretty strong) theres a waterfall at the head of one pool and a whirlpool type thing.
I wouldn't recommend it for All grades. &nbsp;

With the right conditions if you do fancy a visit PM me and i'll give you the directions from a dive book I have.
