Stoney Cove

☀️ With an amber alert for hot weather over the next few days, divers and swimmers visiting us need to be especially aware of the extra pressure this heat can put on our bodies.

Keep hydrated, don't spend too long kitted up in the sun and ease yourself gradually into the water to allow time to acclimatise.

Access to the water is through pre-booked tickets online only and these sell out quickly during the summer.

Due to a marked increase in anti-social behaviour, drug taking and instances of abuse towards our staff by individuals visiting the site with no intention of using the facilities, we have unfortunately had to take the difficult decision to install a ParkingEye system across the site.

Our intention is for this to have little to no impact on legitimate users of the site.

If you are booking a dive or swim ticket, the vehicle registration entered during booking will automatically be added to the whitelist for your visit.

If visiting Nemos bar & restaurant or the Stoney Cove shop/technical services, you can add your registration at the terminals in either building free of charge.

If you arrive in a different vehicle to the one used during booking, or if you have visitors with you (such as a spotter, surface support or family member), please simply pop into the shop on the day to enter the relevant registration into the terminal. There is no charge for this, and there never will be.

To be clear, it is not possible to pay for parking - parking is free using the terminals for any legitimate site visitors that haven’t been automatically added when purchasing a swim or dive ticket.

Wild Sauna Club users will also be able to enter their vehicle registrations when visiting the sauna.

We understand that this change may not be welcomed by everyone, however the safety of our staff and the protection of our site remain our top priorities.

We hope this measure will cause minimal inconvenience to our genuine visitors while helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to ask.

We're excited to share a new addition to our 6-Metre shelf!

Generously donated by Warwick Submarine, a human-powered submarine that competed against teams from around the world in the European Int'l Sub Races now joins our collection of wrecks for everyone to explore and enjoy.

Showcasing the skill, dedication and countless hours of hard work by their students, we're proud to give it a new home where everyone can appreciate it up close.

Please treat it kindly.

It's officially Christmas here at Stoney Cove.
Our tree is in the water and Leicestershire Scouts Sub-Aqua Unit - LSSAU have worked their magic with lights and music. A huge thanks to them.
