Dosthill Quarry
HOW TO FIND US - OPENING TIMES - FEES

Dosthill Quarry, near Tamworth, is perhaps the oldest inland dive site in the country.

Regular divers will be pleased to learn that we have added an extra hour each day onto the weekend opening hours. On Saturdays and Sundays, the site will be open from 8am and provided you have air, you can dive. If you need air, the compressor will start up at 9am, but you can still gain valuable time by getting into the quarry to meet up with your group, brief the dive and have a hot drink etc.

Features:

Air station - pure air breathing compressor and bank
Retail shop - stocked with popular lines and a range of accessories
Catering Van - offering a tasty range of snacks and drinks available at very reasonable prices
Chemical Toilets - for your convenience
