FAQ
When is the best time to dive with seals at the Farne Islands?
The best seal interaction happens from late August through October. By late summer the young grey seal pups from earlier in the year have become confident and curious, and they are at their most playful when approaching divers. The seals are resident year-round, but autumn offers the perfect combination of seal behaviour, reasonable visibility, and water temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees.
What certification do I need to dive the Farne Islands?
Open Water divers can enjoy the shallower seal sites at 8 to 12 metres, while the deeper reef areas reaching 25 metres require an Advanced Open Water certification. Drysuit experience is essential due to water temperatures ranging from 6 to 14 degrees Celsius. Strong tidal currents around the islands require good buoyancy skills.
How do I arrange a dive at the Farne Islands?
Dives are arranged through dive centres or charter boats operating from Seahouses harbour on the Northumberland coast. The boat ride takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the site. Diving is tide-dependent, so operators schedule dives around slack water. The islands are managed by the National Trust, and landing fees may apply for surface intervals on the islands.
