Hi All

The club is running an amazing trip to the Farne Islands on the 5th Oct 2024. Diving is arranged over the weekend consisting of 2 dives each day with Sovereign Diving https://www.sovereigndiving.co.uk/ .

If you’ve never been before you’ll experience playing with the seals and incredible wildlife. Furthermore the scenery is breathtaking, there’s incredible walks, great places to eat.  It’s a great experience for people to have their first dive and see the wonderful wildlife of Britain.

We’ll be diving on a hardboat with a lift, shelter and WC. The trip is open to all qualified divers, so plenty time for trainees to get qualified for this fantastic opportunity. October is an amazing time to dive the Farne Islands as the seals are very active later in the year and often have close contact with divers. Fantastic scenic dives too with plenty wildlife both topside and beneath the waves.

Accommodation for the weekend is at the Hides in Seahouses which is 5 mins drive from the harbour and 15 mins walk into the town centre. The Hides is comfortable with rooms for 2 to 4 people, kitchen, drying room, towels and bedding. Dogs are also welcome with a small supplement of £6/day.

Plan is to travel up on Friday 4th Oct staying at the Hides Friday and Saturday night and travel back following dives on Sunday. Seahouses has plenty to offer in terms of food/pubs and other amenities. In the event weather is against any diving, the area is great for walks.

The weekend is priced at £210 per person although please note accommodation at the Hides for the weekend is unfortunately not refundable if the diving is cancelled although a weekend at the Farnes is still great without diving.

I’ll need a deposit of £75 to secure your place but if people can email me beforehand so I can gauge interest. kandj68@googlemail.com . It’ll be on a first come basis but I’ll run a reserve list.

Please note securing your place is commitment to the trip, and as you’ll appreciate any refunds in the event you are not able to come, is subject to another willing to fill the place. Any questions please feel free to drop me a line.

Cheers Kev.
