Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Cathedral rock offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest diving.
Cathedral Rock on the Scottish East Coast offers a straightforward shore dive. We usually find crabs and lobsters tucked into the crevices of the rocky seabed here, along with the occasional inquisitive seal. It's a decent spot for a relaxed dive when the weather is calm, especially for divers looking to explore local UK waters without the need for a boat. Visibility can be hit or miss, typical for the region, but on a good day, it's a pleasant dive.
