Deep Blue Scuba

Having been a Marine Protected Area for more than 30 years, St Abbs is rightly regarded as a world class dive area. Huge variety of dive sites we stay right in the harbour at Rock House and dive with Paul Crowe off Shore Diver. Fully equipped dive boat with lift.

Some of the most famous dive sites of St. Abbs are just 50m away from the wall of the harbour: “Cathedral Rock”, “Big Green Carr”, “Broad Craig” and “Little Carr”. These sites can be dived as a shore dive from the harbour or other sites can be reached by dive boat.

Several boat operators sail out of Eyemouth Harbour for trips in the local area and up to St Abbs. We love diving in the marine park, it's so beautiful. If you need a coral fix, this is the place to be! Soft coral and dead mans fingers adorn the reefs as well as anemones and deeper down, blankets of brittle star fish. If you're really lucky you might see the elusive wolf fish.

We love Greenends gully! It's easiest dived on a high tide and access can be a little bit tricky to the water's edge. But once you're in and drop down to explore the channels it's well worth it! The max depth here is about 13m and so much life lives in the nooks and crannies. You'll see lobsters, crabs, nudis and if you're really eagle eyed - scorpionfish and octopus! This is one of The Fifth Point's adopted Project AWARE sites.

Nestends Gully is two dive sites rolled into one. At high tide, turn right on entry to drop through a really cool channel which open out to a big pebbly bottom. Turn left to play in the gullies a little bit more and explore the walls and channels. With a max depth of about 14m, all sorts of life lives on this site. You'll see lobsters, crabs, nudis, wrasse... you might even bump into a resident grey seal from Eyemouth harbour! This is one of The Fifth Point's adopted Project AWARE sites.
