Puffin Island - Ynys Seiriol
Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Puffin Island offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest diving.
Puffin Island, just off the Northumberland coast, offers a straightforward dive. Expect kelp forests and rocky gullies, typical of the UK’s cooler waters. We’ve spotted crabs, lobsters, and plenty of blennies darting between the rocks. It's a good option for divers looking for an easy shore dive or a shallow boat trip when conditions are calm.
