National Diving and Activity Centre (Chepstow)

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]

It is an inland scuba diving site, popular with technical divers and free divers due to the depth - 80m in some places. There are a number of underwater attractions in depths ranging from 6m to 76m.

All freediving at the National Diving and Activity Centre is through SaltFree Divers. SaltFree are the largest freedive group in the UK.

PADI and IANTD training is provided on site and many local BSAC and SAA clubs use the site for training.
