Diving in St. Abbs

Just up the coast from Seahouse in England is St. Abbs in Scotland. The area features deep water and strong tides. This makes it some of the best shore diving area in all of the UK but it also means that you have to be a fairly capable and experienced diver to dive in this area. About 50m off the coast you will come across Cathedral Rock, a double rock arch that is an amazing spot, covered in anemones and dead man’s fingers. A few other good spots in the area are Broad Craig, Big Green Carr, and Little Green Carr.
