Places available on various weekend trips in August/Sept to Farne Islands off Northumbria coast to dive solely with SEALS- hard boat diving. No wrecks,shallow dives- max.depth about 15m and expect to spend the majority of the dives below 10m.
Cost will be about ?30 per person per day for 2 dives each day with a break for lunch back at Seahouses harbour.All monies payable direct to Skipper.
Please note there may be divers from other organisations on the same boat (e.g. PADI).
Despite previous requests dives will NOT be guided, but a comprehensive brief on how to increase the chances of getting close to these peaceful creatures will be provided for all divers! I have been asked by people to repeatedly guide them before and in return I have expected them to cover the costs of my diving. After consideration this is NOT possible.
Divers limited in water to groups of 4 max, with simple buddy pairs encouraged (i.e just 2 divers in the water in close proximity).All divers are responsible for their own dive planning/safety - clubs encouraged.
CHECK PHOTOS FIRST!
Photos from recent trips available by e-mail please contact: <a href="mailto:bburville@hotmail.com">bburville@hotmail.com</a>
Please note that these trips are intended to be very peacful interactions with these wild animals.However, as you'll quite understand, with nature, there are NO guarentees! & sometimes they choose simply to avoid some people under water! (perhaps they don't like the colour of your fins!!)Under NO circumstances should there be ANY attempt to "feed" these creatures with ANY food and they should be respected as wild animals at ALL times.
Contact me as soon as possible with the dates and number of divers you have for trips (Sat & Sun diving)and I will endeavour to fit you in. This weekend (9th & 10th August) FULLY BOOKED!
Kind regards,
Ben.
