National Dive and Activity Centre

The National Dive and Activity Centre sits at a flooded former limestone quarry in Tidenham, Gloucestershire, near the Wye Valley close to the England-Wales border. It is an inland freshwater training and recreation site rather than a coastal dive, drawing divers from across the region for courses and club diving. Quarry sites like this typically feature sunken attractions such as boats, vehicles, or platforms placed deliberately to give divers something to explore, and depths in flooded quarries of this kind commonly range from shallow ledges near the surface down to deeper sections further out. Visibility and temperature in inland quarries can vary a good deal with season and recent weather, which is worth checking directly with the centre before a visit.
