Seahouses-based operators such as Sovereign Diving use local tide knowledge to connect the Farne Islands into a flexible wreck, reef and seal itinerary. Blue Caps can provide sheltered boulder-and-gully diving, Knivestone adds current-swept reef and wreckage, and the deeper SS Somali is a classic slack-water objective. The resident grey seals are the emotional headline, but the destination also rewards photographers with nudibranchs, crustaceans, soft corals, anemones and kelp structure. Expect cold water, boat entries, possible surge and plans that change with wind and tide.
A versatile underwater cliff descending to about {{ 25 | distance:m }}, with an undercut wall for scenic diving and a more sheltered boulder, kelp and gully area that can work for training or a protected second dive.
A sealcolony wall dropping to about {{ 30 | distance:m }}, with a shallow gully near {{ 6 | distance:m }} and deeper boulders.
Rock corridors, anemones, sponges and scattered wreckage lead toward the SS Abyssinia at roughly {{ 18 | distance:m }}.

Checklist da operadora
Book a Seahouses charter well ahead for summer weekends and ask for the operator's minimum certification, drysuit policy, cylinder and gas options, number of dives, lift access and cancellation terms. Send certification and medical information early. Build at least one spare day into a dedicated trip and accept that a named wreck request is never a guarantee. Carry a delayed surface marker buoy and reel appropriate to current, follow the skipper's lost-diver and recall procedures, and keep the final ascent clear of boat routes.
