About St Abbs
The rugged shoreline of St Abbs is situated about 10 miles into Scotland on the east coast and is home to some of the greatest diversity of marine life found around the British Isles. The water here is generally very clear and there are some fantastic kelp forests and rocky canyons to investigate. Remember to take some fish food down on your dives, as there are some friendly Ballan Wrasse who will feed from your hands. When not in the water there is a local tearoom that serves cream teas and lunches.

Dive Trip Details
An early start is required for this trip. We leave at 3a.m. on the Tuesday the 14th from Stansted to get to St Abbs for around 8.30am. After breakfast we meet our skipper (Billy), load our kit onto his boat and have our first boat dive in the morning to a local wreck or pinnacle. We then return back to the harbour for lunch and air fills.

After lunch we then load the boat back up and it’s off for our second dive of the day, maybe a pinnacle or another wreck. We then return to shore to get air fills and spend the night at a local pub or restaurant. The next day after a hearty breakfast we take the boat out to another wreck or pinnacle site in the morning, then in the afternoon do another boat dive to the infamous ‘Cathedral Rock’ (one of the best dives in the UK) before returning back to shore to rinse our kit. We then begin our journey home at around 4.30p.m hoping to get back to Stansted at around 9pm.
