Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Crab Row offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest diving.
Crab Row lives up to its name, a decent spot for finding crustaceans tucked into crevices and under overhangs. We’ve seen edible crabs, velvet swimmers, and plenty of squat lobsters here. It's not a site for big pelagics or colourful corals, but if you enjoy a slower, macro-focused dive, it’s a good option. Suitable for newer divers or those looking to practice their buoyancy in calmer conditions.
