About the event
Diving with the Seals of the Farne Islands. Friday 20th – Sunday 22nd September 2019. Minimum qualification – Junior Open water with 20 SPACES!
If you want to dive with seals then this is the best there is, with a colony of 1500 seals around the Farne Islands and September is regarded as the best month to visit as the young seals born the year before are at their most playful. We are going to use Sovereign Diving who have a Catamaran coded for 20 divers with dry area and lift.
