Stoney Cove Information
Vivian Quarry - North Wales
The site offers a dive shop, oxygen and first aid, air to 232 Bar (not banked), toilets, public phone and ample car parking (£1.00 for the day). Future plans include fish and underwater training platforms. Vivian Quarry is borderline with regard to altitude diving, it is recommended that if the atmospheric pressure is less than 1000mb at sea level then you should use BSAC level 2 tables or equivalent. It is also recommended that when returning home, avoid any increase in altitude and head towards Bangor and the A55. To reach Vivian Quarry, follow the signs to Llanberis (from A55) along the A4086 travelling south, away from Caernarfon. Follow this road past the large lake on the left and past Llanberis. Take the last left turn before the end of the lake and round to the left into the Park Padarn. There's a large car park and toilets here. Park as close to the light railway station as possible. Just to the right of the station is an arched opening, about 6m high, in the rock face with the "dive shop" on the left at the entrance. |
