Farne Islands Welcome you!
Farne Islands
The Farne Islands are a group of islands off the coast of Northumberland, England. The group has between 15 and 20 islands depending on the level of the tide. In the warmer months, the Farnes, an important wildlife habitat, are much-visited by boat trips. The Farne Islands are popular with bird watchers, and as scuba diving locations, with a variety of sites suitable for all levels of divers, for the seals and wrecks. The grey seal colony at the Farnes numbers about 5,000. They are curious and often look in on divers in the water and are impressive to watch underwater.

I couldn’t believe that I succeeded in diving and swam with the seals for 10 minutes! I never thought I could start an adventure under the sea before, till my parents took me to the Farne Islands and tried diving there.
Reference Text
It was such a wonderful world. Before realising it, I had been in the seaweed forest surrounded by the young seals. They were eager to get close to me and dance around me. I reached out my hand to touch one of them. All of a sudden, something big appeared on my right. I turned around and almost got astonished. It was a huge male seal.
Reference Text
I was so scared fearing it would attack me. But it just touched me lightly with its body, as if it wanted to hug me. I put my hands on its back, trying to feel its smooth skin. The world here was so quiet that it felt that time had stopped.
Reference Text
Finally, my instructor gestured for me to go up. When I reached the surface, I had to readjust to the sunlight. What had happened just now was like a dream.
