Stoney Cove Leicestershire
And it's sunny.
Cold but sunny.
Stoney Cove is an old quarry that has been transformed into a diving venue and very popular it is.
In 1978, Stoney Cove Marine Trials Ltd was formed to develop the full potential of Stoney Cove for scuba diving and commercial underwater activities. Since then there has been a continuous programme of improvements which began with a tarmac surface for the waterside parking area. A shower facility and that most important item, a pub, followed soon after. September 1999 saw the completion of a new access road and entrance to Stoney Cove. Beneath the new road is a drain system that directs rainwater and silts from the cliffs and banks away from Stoney Cove during storms. This has significantly improved underwater visibility during rainy periods.But that's not all brought to Stoney Cove in year 2000 The Stanegarth, the U.K.'s largest inland ship wreck, and the Nautilus submarine have both provided major new attractions.
Work on the Underwaterworld Dive centre has brought world class teaching facilities now available for dive clubs and schools to use
