So it didn't matter that it was still raining today as Kath had booked to take her dry suit diving qualification and Martin and I booked for a tour of the power station.
After our tour we walked to the quarry and watched Kath go down for her second dive having done her knowledge and skills tests.
After a late lunch at home we stayed put as it was still raining.
On the power station tour we couldn't take any bags nor phones nor cameras because of security. I took this picture of the entrance beforehand.
We boarded a minibus at the visitor centre and were driven deep into the mountain. The cavern where the turbines and generators are could take St Paul's Cathedral it's so vast. The water comes from the top reservoir and is released into the lake in the valley and is then pumped back up overnight to be used again the next day. It was a very interesting visit.
This is the diving centre and the quarry for diving. The quarry has boats, mining carts etc on the bottom to provide interest to divers.
