The Dive School at Stoney Cove

Stoney Cove quarry was originally a granite mine. In 1958 when quarrying at the site ceased, the quarry filled with spring water. Today, the site consists of 3 main levels: a 6m shelf area, ideal for beginner training, a 36m sump for more advanced training and the main body consisting of 2 large 22m deep areas.

Dosthill Quarry is a granite, spring-fed quarry, conveniently sited only a few miles northeast of Birmingham. With clear water, depths down to 26m, and some beautiful wall dives on the east side of the quarry, this site is an easy, natural progression for our Advanced Open Water divers. We organise regular pleasure diving days across at Dosthill, and also teach some specialty courses there. Dosthill is also open 2 evenings each week, so it's easy to organise a night dive in the right season.

This is the former Trent Meadow gravel pit in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire. The site was used for sand and gravel extraction from the 1960s and in the 1990s an upgrading scheme saw the pits flooded to create the three lakes. The West Lake is used for Scuba Diving and is approximately 6m in depth.

Reel Diving UK Pool is now open to all centres and professionals for hire. It is the ultimate place to dive, Freedive, Mermaid, Snorkel or have fun in the water. The pool is 10m in Diameter and 4m in depth. The training platform is 1.6m and offers a great shallow water area for developing skills.

The pool at Harvey Hadden Sports Village is the main training pool. Measuring 25m by 25m and with a maximum depth of approx 4m, it provides plenty of space for dive training groups to spread out and a lot of space for swimming.

With a maximum depth of 22m, easy entry and exist points, training platforms at all concenient depths. as well as a fully-functioning PADI Career Development Centre as the operator, Gildenburgh Water is a great dive site for any diver, but particulary for novices and divers needing a convenient refresher dive. Onsite facilities include clubhouse with indoor seating, refreshments, shop, repair and cylinder testing centre, full rental store (inc drysuits) and air station.
