Sunderland Scuba Centre

If you don't fancy lugging your kit across the causeway and scrambling over the slippery rocks, why not enjoy St Mary's from a different perspective? This dive site is perfect for beginners with a nice easy beach entry. It's a very shallow site which slopes gently to a max depth of about 6m. But just because it's shallow doesn't mean it's not teeming with life! You'll see all types of crustaceans and juvenile fish. We've even seen monkfish right in the shallows! Plus, if you're really lucky a cheeky grey seal from the island might come to visit!

Ellerton Park is a fresh water, spring fed 60 acre lake ,they are open 7 days a week 9.00am to 5.00pm. Late night Tuesdays and Thursdays until 7.30pm. Please note last entry to the water is 1 hour before closing. scuba diving entry £10.

Want to see Grey Seals?! This is your best chance - there's over 4 thousand of them! There are lots of dive sites around The Farnes, which ones we visit depends on the conditions for the day, but there's something here for everyone.

The Farne Islands are famous for a colony of 4.5 thousand grey seals and teeming with life on the many varied dive sites. Most of the sites are around the outer Farnes with wrecks and reefs to explore.
