Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Ellerton offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest diving.
Ellerton is a freshwater quarry, a popular spot for local divers getting their skills dialled in. You'll find a few submerged training platforms and often some small perch or carp cruising through the murk. Visibility can be a mixed bag, particularly after a few groups have been through, but it’s an accessible site for training or gear testing. It suits divers looking for convenient inland practice rather than a scenic dive.
