Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Brown s Bay offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest reef diving.
Brown's Bay offers a straightforward shore dive, well-suited for training or a relaxed day out. We often find juvenile fish sheltering amongst the rocks closer to shore, and sometimes a curious seal might make an appearance. It's an easy entry and exit, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking to test new gear without strong currents. Visibility can vary quite a bit, so check local conditions before you head out.
