Green Ends Gully

Guided Dives X2

Green Ends Gully is simply one of the finest dives you can do from the eastern shores of the United Kingdom.

You will walk down the slipway into a pleasant sheltered gully system created several million years ago by volcanic activity, from there you will be greeted by a carpet of sea kelp which clears after a few metres into a superb gully full of rocks and crevices which are home to literally hundreds of species of marine life.

Guided by a PADI Professional you will venture into the gully which gets its name from the green tinge that the minerals in the rocks lend to the water.

We will be doing 2 dives to truly explore this underwater haven.

Browns Bay

Guided Dive X2

Being situated only a stones throw from Whitley Bay makes Browns Bay one of the most easily reached dive spots around.

Though challenging to get to the shore and back up and down 56 stairs (I know, I counted) wearing full scuba gear it is a superb and relaxing dive for the more experienced diver.

Guided by a PADI Professional we will be exploring the rocks and crevices that form part of the reef and seabed looking for the many species of marine life that make Browns Bay their home making our way out to the wreck of the Butetown, a cargo ship that ran aground here.

Your PADI Professional will them Stamp and Sign your log book to prove you have gained this experience
