It's almost time to dive again 😎

Your equipment has probably been in storage throughout the winter. Worth checking if it's complete, serviced and ready to go. And are your cylinders and regulators in date..

Please contact your local Oceanic dealer and support them if you can for any sales and servicing needs. As businesses re-open hopefully for a decent year of diving ahead, we will rely on local dealers for their expertise, workshop and air fills.

PM us if you don't know where to find your local dealer. Thank you 👏

Goods news, at last...Stoney Cove will reopen for Diving and Swimming on 29th March, inline with the Governments road map that allows the restart of outdoor sports. Please bear in mind that the requirement for groups of no more than 6 still stands and we will have to wait a little longer before we allow dive schools to train.

Today we have released the tickets and we would like you to purchase them through our ticket page, as before. However the ticket page has now been combined into our stoneycove.com, web site. At the top of the stoneycove.com home page there is a link for you to log in to your account, here you can book tickets. If you have credits on your account, these will be available to pay for any tickets you purchase, once you reach the check out page.

Please also bear in mind that we are expecting the service workshops to be very busy, once we reopen. To avoid disappointment and delays we have opened the workshops in advance of reopening the site, so you can bring us regs, cylinders and computers, if they need servicing, after this long period of inactivity. Please call us on 01455273089 if you would like to arrange to drop your kit off.

Here's looking forward to a fantastic summer at Stoney Cove.
