Our first Open Water weekend of 2026 at Stoney Cove is done — and what a weekend it was!
We kicked off the year in true British diving style with freezing conditions, a classic mix of sunshine and showers , and some seriously great visibility underwater . Cold hands, big smiles, and lots of determination all round! Despite the chilly air, the diving was fantastic and the teamwork even better. And of course, no dive weekend is complete without plenty of cake — vital fuel for cold-water divers!
Huge congratulations to our newly qualified divers: Thomas Coales – Open Water & Drysuit Diver Lois Coales – Drysuit Diver Kim Mynard – Open Water & Drysuit Diver Danny Brazier – Open Water & Drysuit Diver Peter Brazier – Scuba Diver
You all smashed it — great skills, great attitudes, and well-earned achievements! A massive thank you to the whole team for their hard work, support, and encouragement throughout the weekend . From briefing to debriefing (and cake distribution!), it was a proper team effort. Here’s to many more dives, warmer days (hopefully!), and more underwater adventures in 2026!
