Northumberland is a historic county in the northeast of England just south of the Scottish border. This sparsely populated county is made up of castles and farmland as far as the eye can see. As part of the Northumberland region, the Farne Island archipelago can be found 3-5 kilometers off the coast between Seahouses and Bamburgh municipalities. Isolated and vulnerable, this collection of 15-20 islands (depending on the level of the tide), is not only the most famous Sea Bird Sanctuary in the British Isles but also has a large colony of seals. The Outer Farnes is considered the less populated of the islands and home to between 3,000 and 4,000 grey seals. This is the second-largest seal colony in the UK. Every Autumn around 1,000 seal pups are born in the Farnes and can be seen sunbathing on the rocks. So come and us for a weekend diving hopefully with seals, but you may also come across several relatively unusual species that favour this cooler water, lumpsucker, Norwegian topknot, yarrel’s blenny and the spectacular wolf fish. Another speciality is the huge, deep-water anemone, bolocera. Please note that the choice of diving will be dictated by conditions, safety and diver qualification / experience.
