Visited Eccy today and I must say it was a pleasant suprise, the vis was pretty good, the facilities are good, staff are friendly and the setting is relly nice. I have read a lot of negative things about Eccy and the vis, all I can say is that this was my 3rd visit in around 12 month and it was a marked improvement. Money is being spent on improvements, there is plenty to see underwater, so give it a go and make your own mind up.

Visited in chillly February and enjoyed a great day's diving. Viz was fine and the work that's been done has improved it a lot. It was Joe's first time here and his words after the first dive summed it up for both of us: "I really enjoyed that!" Keep up the good work!

ECCY DELPH HE WHO DARES THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT. WENT ON SAT 07/06/08 TO SEE THIS MUD BATH AS I HAVE HEARD IT CALLED. ALL I CAN SAY IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FOR 2 OR 3 YEARS GO AND TRY IT FIRST TIME FOR ME AND 5 STUDENTS AND 2 D/M'S COULDT BELIVE WHAT I HAD BEEN TOLD. SAVED ON THE ENRTYS, REG, AND FUEL AROUND £100 VIS WAS 15 TO 20 MTRES SURFACE, 6 MTRES DEEP 8 MTRES VIS MINI. WHEN WE LEFT DOWN TO 4 MTRES. STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY WE HAD A SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH A REG BARRY IN THE SHOP SORTED IT WE OFFERD TO PAY HE SAID PUT SOMTHING IN THE LIFE BOAT BOX CHEERS AGAIN FOR THAT. PROVES THAT DONT BELIVE WHAT YOU HEAR. THEY ARE STARTING DOING GOLF AND CLAY PIGEON SHOOTING IF THEY PUT AS MUCH EFFORT IT THAT AS THE DIVE CENTRE WE COULD NOT HAVE A CENTRE THERE IN THE FUTURE. SO IF THE RESON YOU DONT GO IS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU HEARD JUST TRY IT, THE BLOKE THAT RUNS IT HAS HIS OWN SENSE OF HUMOUR BUT WE HARDLY SHAW HIM EVERY CLOUD AS THEY SAY. BUT WHEN YOU READ AND HEAR THINGS I THINK I WOULD BE A BIT !!!!!! OFF. MALDIVERS SSI SCHOOL

Went there yesterday, water was like crystal, you could see the bottom 10 metres clearly from the surface. Loads of fish life especially in the shallows. Nice to have a fill station right by the edge too, saves the back and shoulder! Well worth the tenner entry. Ohh and the gold balls are a bonus ;-P

Didn`t know this place existed until seeing it in this months "Sport Diver", very handy as I live in Haydock. Be good to get wet again!

I used to dive here a really long time ago, in fact I think it was my first open water dive way back in 1973. Not dived for over 20 years now. I used to be a member of Eccleston BSAC who met at Chorley Baths and the White Crow afterwards. Just wish the Delph had been this good then, but what a fantasic place it is now. Congratulations to those that had the vision and heart to do this.

don't think staff were very friendly. terrible visibility today. really average dive site to be honest. didn't think staff were appropriate for a dive site.

Been to The Delph and have a great days diving. Really impressed with the centre as a whole. Well done to those concerned in turning an old quarry into such a wonderful dive centre. Will be going again.

I've always found the Delph a nice friendly place to dive. Ok viz not always the best but great for training. I've always found the staff here a hell of a lot friendlier than certain other inland sites. would always choose the Delph for my inland diving fix

Been twice now and enjoyed both visits. It is excellent for training as there is loads to see and plenty of training platforms. The facilities are very good and staff very friendly. Looking forward to going back and also trying the night dive there.

I originally came across The Delph to do a 'try dive' with no intentions of going forward with any qualifications. I expected a 'clinical step by step' experience but The Delph is special, I'm now AOW going for Rescue (all done with The Delph) & I've been to numerous dive centres. The Delph is the only place that has the 'personal, family' feeling. I really can't praise the Delph as much (the bacon & egg barmcake (or COB as it's rightly known from a Nottingham lad)is one of the best in the country!!
