Milton Keynes Sub-Aqua Club dive regularly at the Blue Lagoon in Bletchley. Our lake has a maximum depth of 18 metres, which makes it perfect for open water training.
Over the years, the club have ‘planted’ many items for divers to explore including two cars (a Capri and a Metro), a bus and a small aircraft. Six sunken boats and a pair of concrete pipes to swim through complete the underwater attractions.
MKSAC welcomes other clubs to dive at the Blue Lagoon subject to certain conditions (the club is run by volunteers). There are training platforms at 6m and 10m. Please contact the Diving Officer in advance before visiting the lake.
‘The Bluey’ is home to many species of fish. Pike, Perch and Roach are often seen along with Crayfish. Occasionally Tench and Carp are also found. Visibility can be good although the soft, silty bottom means that late divers can end up with their low-viz qualification signed off!
Visit us at the Blue Lagoon
We dive at the Blue Lagoon almost every Sunday throughout the year, from 10:30 until about 13:00. Between April and September we also dive here on Wednesdays, from 18:30 until about 20:30.
Come along, say hello, and watch us in action!
Finding the Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon Nature Reserve is well sign-posted from Drayton Road. However, you must not follow these signs, as you’ll end up in the public car park, which is some distance away from the lake. Intead, go into the Barton Road Industrial Estate, turn left at the first T-junction and right at the second. Then look for a green gate and a tunnel under the railway on your left.
Following directions to MK2 3BB should get you here.
