St Abbs is a well known and popular diving area on the East coast of Scotland.

St Abbs offers both boat diving and easy shore diving all within a voluntary marine reserve.

The underwater visibility here can often be very clear and since the area is a marine reserve, there are many different types of life, rarely seen elsewhere.

Cathedral Rock is a site which can be dived either from the shore or by boat.

This site gets its name because the rocks form a spectacular double archway below the surface of the water, through which a diver can easily swim.

The arches are covered in different coloured deadmens fingers and anenomies and the fishes here are used to divers.

This is a site which most divers would like to say they have dived.

Wuddy Rocks are on the headland and just visible from the Harbour in St Abbs.

The diving here is around 18-20m deep and it is possible to swim through narrow gullies in the headland and out into the next bay.

The large isoloated rock in the photo is commonly known as Seagull Rock. This can be dived from the shore and it is possible to swim right around the rock and into a small cave on the seaward side.
