The owners of Chepstow’s National Diving & Activity Centre have submitted plans to the County Council to provide attractive, environmentally friendly holiday accommodation at a local disused quarry.

The proposal is to provide 40 lodge-style caravans as self-contained holiday accommodation at Livox Quarry. The holiday accommodation will be for short breaks and would allow families to stay in the area whilst they enjoy the many local attractions and sights of the Wye Valley and surrounding areas.

We’ve recently had 300 tonnes of road chippings delivered to the National Diving & Activity Centre.

These have been used to improve areas of the car park and the road down to the pontoons.

We have also re-painted the markers in the car park to help visitors park a bit more easily when visiting the National Diving & Activity Centre.

We are delighted to be working with The Royal Engineers and their dive teams. In particular the team from 29 EOD & S Group Support Unit Dive Team, based at Wimbish, who have kindly acquired a new attraction to be placed in the water at the NDAC in the form of an Armoured Warrior Tracked Vehicle.

The Easter Scuba Bunny has been busy hiding eggs under the water at the National Diving & Activity Centre.

If you’re diving with us over the Easter weekend and lucky enough to hunt down one of the Easter Eggs, bring it to the gas room and one of the NDAC team will exchange it for a chocolate Easter Egg.
