Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - St Abbs Harbour offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest reef diving.
St Abbs Harbour offers a convenient shore entry directly into the village bay. It’s a gentle spot, usually sheltered, making it ideal for checking gear, honing skills, or for those just getting back into the water. We often spot blennies, crabs, and nudibranchs tucked among the rocks and kelp, a nice introduction to the local micro-life. Depth is limited, making it a good choice for longer, relaxed dives.
