Has anyone dived Holy Island (Lindisfarne) off the Berwick coast? I heard that the fishermen were very hostile towards divers - 30 years ago they asked divers not to dive a certain area as they had lobster pots down, and the divers out of spite cut about 40 pots free. They're hand made, so divers have since been very unwelcome. Is this still the case? Where can cylinders be filled - there are no dive facilities what so ever on the island?
