    The Sugarloaf Caves offer a glimpse into Northumberland's rugged coastline. Divers navigate a series of interconnected underwater caves and swim-throughs, with plenty of cracks and crevices to peek into for crabs and lobsters. It's a dive best suited for those comfortable with overhead environments and keen to explore the unique geology of the area. Visibility can be a bit variable, but on a good day, it’s a memorable adventure.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
