Vivian - Northumberland & Northeast

Vivian, tucked away in the Northumberland and Northeast, is a pretty decent shout for an easy dive. It’s a shallow one, topping out at 13 metres, which makes it ideal for newer divers or for a relaxed Sunday bimble. What we like about Vivian is its sheltered nature; you often get calmer conditions here when other sites are too choppy. Expect to potter around kelp beds, spotting crabs scuttling over rocks and the occasional curious seal popping its head in for a look. It’s not a dramatic wall dive, but it’s a reliable spot for getting wet and enjoying the local critters.
