Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Eight Acre Lake offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest diving.
Eight Acre Lake is a freshwater dive site, a good spot for getting back in the water or for newer divers building confidence. We’ve found it’s mostly about the training here, but you’ll often see perch and pike lurking in the gloomier corners. Expect typical lake conditions, often a bit silty, but it’s reliably sheltered. It’s a solid choice for local UK divers wanting easy access to a dive.
