Chickens Rock - Northumberland & Northeast

Chickens Rock offers a typical Northeast UK dive, with rugged rocky formations and kelp beds swaying in the current. It’s a site best explored when the sea is calm, otherwise, surface chop can make things a bit challenging. Look for the usual suspects here, lobsters tucked into crevices, some crab scuttling across the rock, and the occasional inquisitive seal. It's a spot that suits divers looking for a straightforward, inshore UK dive.
