Farne Islands

---

This weekend I went to the The Farne Islands diving with my mum and a group of MCS divers.

We were diving with Farne Divers, and stayed in Beadnell (near Seahouses) in their accommodation. It was basic but good. Big cooked breakfasts supplied every morning.

The weather was good, and the diving was great. The sea was flat, the viz was great.

The dives were all scenic ones (glad I had a wreck fix last weekend!). We noted down what we saw and filled in seasearch forms for the dives.

The water was a bit colder than Newquay - 13'c BRRR but it is up north!

We had dinner at the local pub, which was good (not as expensive as the previous weekend!)

Strange couple of weeks - drove past Stonehenge at the beginning of the week and the Angel of the North at the end. Am now a bit worn out and am back to work on Tuesday.

We are going to The Netherlands next weekend for a family event. I am hardly at home at the moment.

Seal
The seals were really cute, but they kept their distance.

Lobster
Just sitting waiting to be picked up... If only this wasn't an MCS trip, and I was brave enough to cook them!

Pipe fish
Loads of these on the kelp, this one is on a dead man finger.

Seal in the kelp
This seal was hiding in the kelp, chilling out. The sea was 13'c BRRRR

Sun star
Lots of star fish! This is a sun star... how many legs!

Jelly fish
I don't think they stung, but kept back just in case!
