The Battle HQ is just a semi submerged Concrete box, that is usually filled shoulder high with stagnant water.
I was lucky enough to go a few years ago when it was only knee high, it really wasn't worth ruining a pair of trainers for. Especially without a camera. Every other time Ive been the water has been too high to go in.
Its the same at Widnes AA Battery, the submerged room there is always about 5 ft deep in dirty water, Ive been many times to see if its dropped to an explorable level, but it never has.
There was talk a few years ago on another forum about pumping them both dry, but I never heard anything else about this happening.
