Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Calf Sound Drift offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest drift diving.
The Calf Sound offers a brisk drift dive through a channel often rich with the flow of nutrients. You'll move along with the current, spotting various anemones and crabs clinging to the rocky seabed, with the occasional schooling fish darting past. It's a dive that suits those comfortable with moderate currents and who appreciate the unique challenges of a UK drift. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs tucked into crevices as you glide by.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
