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 and changing facility and, a pub. 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. The Stanegarth, the U.K.'s largest inland ship
wreck, and the Nautilus submarine have both
provided major new attractions.
And the development of Stoney Cove
continues apace with work now started on a state-of-the-art dive centre
building containing new breathing gas production facilities and a medical
centre.
Depth ranges start at a 6m bank (for Open Water Divers/Novice)
running from Nemos' Bar to Dive Centre building. Slopping down to
20-22m (Advanced
Divers/Intermediate) where the Stanegarth and
many other attractions such as a helicopter, bus, minis, sesnor airpolane
and many vehicles. There is a technical section which drops down to
36m (Advanced
+/Expert). This is only adviced if you have
Deep diver or Technical training.
