Dive-site story
Lady Hole sits along the rugged Farne Islands archipelago off the Northumberland coast. This site features a rocky gully and boulder-strewn seabed typical of the North Sea reef systems. Diving here revolves heavily around the resident Atlantic grey seals, which often approach curious divers, alongside gullies encrusted with cold-water invertebrates and kelp canopies.
