DIVERSE SCUBA STONEY COVE INFORMATION Stoney Cove is the National Diving Centre in Leicestershire which offers excellent facilities for both training and recreational diving. It is home to "The Stanegarth", the largest inland ship wreck in the UK. In order to offer the best facilities for scuba training, Diverse Scuba use Stoney Cove for the open water elements of our PADI Diving Courses, visiting on the first weekend of each month from May to November, check our Diary for specific weekend dates.

Stoney Cove Course Information

Stoney Cove has many things to explore at a whole range of depths and especially at the six metre level. For a first open water dive on the six metre ledge, it would be possible to visit a submarine, aeroplane cockpit and a sizeable block house which you can enter easily. Add to this the drop off where the ledge ends that gives novices an idea of how deep over six metres can appear, and the vast number of perch, roach, some very large pike and lots of little crayfish, it can make an excellent first underwater experience.

You can view some great pictures of Stoney Cove in our Photo Gallery.
