Farne Islands Seals - Northumberland & Northeast

Diving the Farne Islands for the seals is an experience in pure curiosity. Grey seals will nibble your fins, pull at your camera straps, and generally come right up to you, often in numbers. We've always found the interaction surprisingly bold. It's a shallow dive, sometimes a bit surgey, but perfect for divers who want to get up close with some playful wildlife.
