This week Gemma and Ian take you on location for a proper UK diving adventure!
We kick things off with a shore dive at East Runton on the North Norfolk coast, exploring the famous chalk reef in around 20°C water, before heading north to the Farne Islands for three days and six dives.
Join us in the Farne Islands as we explore Northern Hares, Longstone Gullys, Blue Caps, The Hopper and Gun Rock, with plenty of marine life along the way – including lobsters, crabs, dogfish, anemones, wrasse, seals, puffins and even a porpoise!
We chat about changing tides and currents, the importance of having an experienced skipper, our favourite moments from the trip and why this could be our best Farne Islands trip yet.
Plus, we talk about diving with family, the appeal of UK diving and why Seahouses and the Farne Islands are well worth a visit for divers and non-divers alike.
🎧 Dive in and join us on the adventure!
