I don't dive in Stoney in December,there is a buddy line on a UK forum www.divernet.com and very sure nearer the time you will find a buddy to dive with off there

Hi

Stoney is my regular dive site, I only started diving in February and it has been a great place to learn.
I dont know what the water temp is where you dive and what type of suit you wear but as has been said previously, the water temp will be very cold in December (Feb was 7 degrees C). Most divers wear drysuits all year round with the others in semi drys so if you dive in anything less you may want to try and get hold of a thicker suit to try out before you come.

ive being diving a bare alpine 7mm over here so far the coldest iv'e been was 53of bottom temp at 60 feet. wasnt bad at all but im going to be diving around here into decemeber untill it gets really cold. The surface temp around then is about -15oc. Around jan it can even get to -30oc. but theres no way im diving past decemeber here.
