Stoney Cove, Leicestershire - probably the most dived site in the UK is some 100 miles from Cheltenham. has been operating as a public dive training facility now since 1978. In the last 20 or so years, the facility has been given a nice new access road, has a new training building going up right now (due to open early in 2003) and has also had numerous attractions dropped in to the waters. Among the favourites are the Wessex helicopter, the Nautilus sub and the Stanegarth, a 1910 steam-powered tug boat. Future attractions will almost certainly be appearing, the first of which is likely to be a giant Buddha statue. We all look forward to seeing that one being dropped in!

Dry dive at the London Diving Chamber Date TBC

Dry diving is exactly as it sounds, a Hyperbaric chamber is the perfect environment to test a diver's ability at depth, but in the safe, water-free environment that it offers. DCI often results from a diver's inability to handle nitrogen narcosis, Currently the PADI depths of the Advanced Open Water course are, in our opinion, not deep enough to really experience narcosis, So if a diver, for the first time, does experience that surreal feeling they can panic and risk DCI. A dry dive can prepare a diver mentally for what can happen underwater, A dry dive is also a great opportunity for technical divers to test their computers or Dive Cameras.

On the day the divers will come as a group to LDC, They will then:

• Fill in a self-declaration medical form. Any ticked YES must be covered by a dive doctors clearance form. (These can be done at LDC with enough notice).
• PLEASE NOTE: Divers must be over 18 years of age for insurance reasons.
• Sign the usual waiver form.
• They will then enter the chamber accompanied by a LDC tender.
• The maximum depth of a dry dive is 50 metres.
• Divers will breathe the surrounding air which will slowly pressurise to the agreed depth.
• Clothing will be provided by London Diving Chamber.
• After staying at the maximum depth for the agreed time, divers will then be surfaced slowly, deco stopping as necessary
• On coming out of the chamber LDC will sign and stamp log books.

Please remember that like a wet dive, a dry dive does carry a risk of DCI, a minimal one as the environment is so controlled. Please report any abnormal symptoms immediately.

Extras:

Transport (if required)

Chamber Speciality course (if required)

Nemo 33 TBC
