Stoney Cove

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.

We're working with Coventry City Council and the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to help protect and repopulate the endangered White Clawed Crayfish in the region that we're lucky enough to have in our waters.

We ask that you help us to do that successfully by leaving the traps, buoys and habitats alone during the next few days while the conservationists carry out their work.

Thankyou.

As always, if you have any questions, please email [email protected]

Please be aware:
The Nautical Archaeology Society are conducting their ROV Archaeology course on Sunday 22nd June.
As a result, there may be submersible activity at 6 Metres around the far-side of Nemos and towards the area of the Gresham wreck as-well-as tether cables on the surface.

Divers: Please use caution when traversing this area and do not approach any submersible vehicle or tether, avoiding where possible.

Swimmers: Please swim clear of any tether in the water around this area. Tethers are positively buoyant and so will float on the surface.

For further information, please speak to a member of the team.

Thankyou for your understanding.
