The Blue Bell Hotel is ideally situated for exploring the wonders under the sea. Northumberland diving is world-renowned for its crystal clear waters, abundant marine life and fascinating wrecks. Centred around the Farne Islands, Lindisfarne and St Abbs just along the coast in Berwickshire, the area is first class for novices and professional divers alike. Eyemouth and St Abbs are historic fishing ports on the Berwickshire coast famous for their rugged cliffs and perfectly clear waters. The marine life here is not only plentiful, but also diverse, making it one of Europe’s top dive destinations and the number one spot for shore diving in the UK. In 1984 the Voluntary Marine Reserve, the first of its kind in the UK, was established here covering 8km of spectacular coastline. Not only famed for its shore diving, St Abbs Head and its surrounding areas have over 80 wrecks, a few of which are still diveable when inland conditions are unfavourable.
