Puffin Island - Northumberland & Northeast

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.
