A diving pool has been built in the cellar of a Victorian shop.

The Aqua Clinic has been constructed in the basement of diving instructor Garry Hudson’s shop, Duck and Dive, in Otley Road, Shipley, as a not-for-profit social enterprise to encourage disabled and disadvantaged people into the sport.

Mr Hudson invested £30,000 and secured loans of £120,000 for the pool, which is for hire to anyone including disabled groups, businesses and individuals.
