National Diving and Activity Centre

Dayhouse Quarry in 2000, before its use as the diving centre

The National Diving and Activity Centre is a large flooded quarry at Tidenham, Gloucestershire, England, near to the border with Wales at Chepstow. It was formerly Dayhouse Quarry, a source of limestone, which was flooded in 1996. The diving centre opened in 2003.^[1]

An inland scuba diving site, it is popular with technical and free divers due to the depths of up to 80 metres (260 ft),^[2] with underwater attractions in depths ranging from 6 metres (20 ft) to 76 metres (249 ft).

PADI and IANTD training is provided on site, and many local BSAC and SAA clubs use the site for training.^[3] All freediving at the National Diving and Activity Centre is through SaltFree Divers.^[4]
