The Chasms
Protected Area
North Anglesey Marine / Gogledd Môn Forol
Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - The Chasms offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest cave diving.
The Chasms, off the Northumberland coast, is exactly what it sounds like: a series of narrow swim-throughs and small caves carved into the rock. It's an atmospheric dive, with shafts of light penetrating the gloom and often good visibility. We've seen conger eels lurking in the cracks and plenty of crabs scuttling about. It's a fun spot for experienced divers comfortable in overhead environments, but keep an eye on the surge.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
