    Dropping down off St Mary's Lighthouse, you’ll find a mix of rocky reefs and sand. Expect to see plenty of local characters like crabs, lobsters, and blennies tucked into crevices. It's a decent spot for a shore dive when conditions are calm, particularly good for newer divers getting used to UK waters. Just keep an eye on the tides, as currents can pick up.
