Dive Conditions: St Abbs

About St Abbs

St Abbs in the Scottish Borders is a National Nature Reserve and one of Scotland's most celebrated diving destinations — a compact village harbour with direct access to cathedral rock formations, archways and walls between 3–18m packed with sea life. Wolf fish occupy crevices below 10m; tompot blennies peer from every hole; grey seals make daily inspection tours of diving groups. The site is reliably calm in most conditions, close to the surface and entirely accessible from shore — making it one of the best value dives in Scotland.
