Eight Acre Lake - Northumberland & Northeast

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.
