After 19 years as one of the most well-loved diving attractions in the country, the National Diving and Activity Centre in Tidenham is closing its doors for good.

The popular water-based attraction announced it was permanently closing to the public from Friday 18 February 2022.

For the last 19 years, the NDAC has provided a range of exciting inland diving facilities including a dive school, water walking, Segways and free diving, not to mention a plethora of exciting attractions, including sunken buses and military vehicles, bungee jumps and zip wires, along with technical-level depths for tech training.

The centre has hosted a range of other popular events over the years too, including the horror-based Halloween event Fear Fest and open-air cinema evenings.

The National Diving and Activity Centre had previously announced that it wouldn’t be open during January 2022 due to the rapidly rising cases of Covid-19.

This disappointing news comes just days after the International Centre for Birds of Prey announced its permanent closure from Thursday 17 February 2022.
