St Abbs

St Abbs is a picturesque fishing village on the Scottish Borders coast that has become one of the UK's most renowned shore diving destinations. The volcanic rocky coastline within the St Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve offers multiple dive sites accessible from the harbor, with depths to 18 meters. The reserve's protected status ensures thriving populations of wolf fish, large lobsters, soft corals, and dense kelp forests. Beginners can explore the shallow gullies near the harbor, while the more exposed sites offer dramatic walls and boulder fields. Visibility is frequently excellent, reaching 15-20 meters. St Abbs has earned its reputation as one of the finest shore diving locations in Europe.
