Gildenburgh Water is the First
UK Centre of Excellence for diving. Its facilities have been recognised
by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) as a 5 Star Career Development Centre (the highest rating achievable).
Our lake has been a developing
sanctuary for fish and lush plant life since 1945 when the former brickworks
closed down. In January 1985 Ian and Pauline Forster, the current owners,
bought the lake and 30 acres of surrounding land and have developed a full
range of ancillary facilities. With varying depths from 1m to 22m, it is
considered by many divers to be the best diving centre in the country. For

Diving isn't the be all and
end all of Gildenburgh, we have our very own Paintball site as well.
The Paintball site, known as Alamo
Paintball, consists of a number of fields and woods that have been modified
with barrels, towers, bunkers and a lot of trenches. Click here for our Paintball Site details.
