Diving at Deep Blue
At Deep Blue we run trip on a regular basis out and about diving, some of the dive sites that we do are:
Tyne Wrecks
The North East Coast is brilliant for Wreck Diving have wrecks scattered all up the coast in depths from anything from 10m downwards!
In the summer is the best time to see these and depending on weather and numbers we run trips off a hard boat to any of the wrecks around the area.
Brown’s Bay
Brown’s Bay is a well known diving area with thousands of divers visiting it from all around the country. As a shore dive it is brilliant for new divers who have not yet experienced North Sea diving or for the more experienced it’s perfect for a dip!
St Mary’s Island is a bit more of a challenging dive with more depth and a bit more of a walk. For those who have done it you will know the amount of life down there is amazing and get there at the right time of the year you can even play with the seals – well OK the seals play with you! Definitely one of the top shore dives around here!
Farne Islands
With regular trips to the Farne Islands (at least once a month) you can see an abundance of life above and below the water, from seals to puffins to wolf fish and nudibranchs, it is perfect for any diver and even better if you have a CAMERA! As one of the must do sites in the UK we would all definitely suggest it.
St AbbsSt Abbs is great for shore dives and boat diving so depending on what you prefer you have every choice! With great dives from both it is great for newly qualified divers and experienced divers alike.
St Abbs is great diving all year round and you may even be lucky enough to see an elusive wolf fish hiding in the cracks!
Edinburgh Aquarium
Fancy diving with some real dinosaurs of the sea then why not dive with the sharks in Edinburgh Aquarium. You will be diving with a range of fish including the huge Grey Nurse Sharks. Whether you have a fascination with sharks or want to face your fear this is a must do dive! Diving in an aquarium itself is one of the strangest of feelings but to be diving with these amazing creatures makes this one of the best dives your will EVER do!
Capernwray
For diving all year round, you an always count on Capernwray. One of the only diver distinctive quarries in the UK with some of the best facilities around it is perfect for a days diving. We use this a lot of training so it's perfect for getting wet when the whether is being 'British'. From 5m to 21m it has helicoptors, planes, wreck and even some gnomes to keep you amused!
Diving Holidays
Over the last few years we have run trips to Oban, Gozo and the Red Sea.
Gozo
Gozo is a small island off of Malta and a brilliant destination for some serious diving.
Staying in Marsalforn is the perfect start to the holiday and in the middle for all the dive sites you could want. With so many wrecks to chose from it is perfect for doing specialties on and since most of them are around 30m it is perfect for anyone wanting to do their Wreck Specialty or their Deep Specialty.
Red Sea
The Red Sea has quickly grown into the most popular diver destination in the world. With hundreds of different dive sites for every type of diver it is perfect for diving holidays.
If you like wrecks then the Thistlegorm is a must and then head to Sha’ab Abu Nuhas for an extreme wreck experience.
For those that are more interested in the aquatic life the Red Sea offers huge schools of fish and anything from tiny little Cleaner Shrimps to the giants of the sea, the Whale Shark.
The Red Sea is a perfect place to practice photography and why not get a certificate out of it as well, with the Underwater Digital Photography Course.
