Stoney Cove

About this site

Stoney Cove in Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire, is arguably the most famous inland dive site in the UK. The flooded granite quarry offers crystal clear water and depths to 36 metres, with a remarkable collection of intentionally sunk attractions including HMS Stubborn (a WWII submarine), a Bristol Blenheim aircraft, a London bus, and numerous smaller wrecks and features across multiple depth platforms. Fully managed with excellent facilities including air and nitrox fills, equipment hire, and a thriving dive club on site. A rite of passage for UK divers.
