mike65 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Simples The quarry is now a diving centre and these and a few other items were dropped in it to keep the divers happy. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gas 44 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 If I remember correctly and I may be wrong :red: they were put there for diver training yeras ago. The Wessex would be resto project and a half :laugh:. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 beware there is a giant pike in the stoney cove but most scary especially to some people there is a FV432 in there as well and i believe it might be over width but i will have to check my pad diving handbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike65 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Would appear there are a few things missing from the map. Mind you if they put it all on the map you would not need to dive it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustmeimamechanic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Did my BSAC course there years ago , there was ice around the edge as it was december , we saw the helicopter , plane ( I sat in the cockpit ) , a landrover , pushbike , lots of fish and some divers who seem to only ever dive at Stoney Cove .
