About This Dive Spot
Stoney Cove is a former granite quarry that transitioned into a dive site after it was filled with spring water in 1958. The site features three primary levels: a shallow shelf at 6 meters, suitable for beginner training, a deeper sump reaching 36 meters for advanced divers, and two expansive areas that descend to 22 meters. Divers can expect to encounter various freshwater species, including pike, common carp, perch, and the European freshwater crayfish, which is the only native crayfish species in the British Isles.
