Lakeside Diving Centre makes a splash on the lake!

Lakeside Diving & Watersports Centre is now making waves as it opens the pontoon on The Boardwalk for business.

The Lakeside Diving and Watersports Centre has just got even better, with a range of exciting new equipment and activities!

Try your hand at the fabulous new 'Waterballs' sensation that's sweeping the nation - that allow you to climb inside a ball and literally walk on water! Or take an exciting ride on the new 8-seater banana boat - a summer activity all the family can enjoy.

Or if you like something a little more 'hardcore', why not take a spin on their brand new 'Desert Busters' - round, flat discs (hold 2 people) that skim you across the lake.

The fee for everything is just £5 per person. Give the Lakeside Diving and Watersports Centre a call on 01708 860947 to get more details and to find out operating times for each activity.

Over the summer months....

Saturdays & Sundays 12 noon - 6pm (weather permitting)

Summer Holidays 12 noon - 6pm

...there'll be loads of fun activities on the water, including pedalos and rowing boats for hire! Check out the activities on the pontoon on the week commencing 26 May 2008

Fancy a relax in the sun, why not take out one of their Lakeside swan pedalos for a sail. Or if you're looking for more of a workout, you can take one of our their rowing boats for a spin. The rowing boats are all new Tabrum boats, meaning they're completely unsinkable!

Visit the pontoon on The Boardwalk at Lakeside. Find The Boardwalk at the end of Brompton Walk on Level 2. For more information, phone 01708 860947.
