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.
