The arrangements for diving at Eyemouth are certainly the best in the area. There are 5 seals that live in the immediate vicinity of the harbour and are often seen on the surface and during dives. You don’t have to go to exotic foreign places to dive with large marine mammals. There is even a resident dolphin around the rocks just outside the harbour approaches!

The New Harbour Buildings provide an ideal base for diving in the St. Abbs and Eyemouth Marine Reserve area, with superb facilities, free parking, hot showers and easy access into the shore dive site. No clambering over the rocks here! The following few pages describe some of the excellent local dive sites, but you can walk into the sea anywhere and still have a superb dive! The local dive sites can be divided into three categories: Shore dives from Eyemouth Shore dives from St. Abbs Boat dives

The shore diving opportunities from Eyemouth include the easiest diving in the area, from the shore on the south side of the harbour entrance. These sites are very handy for the dive centre and can be accessed easily with excellent parking close the entry points. Other sites, on the north side of the harbour entrance require a little more effort to descend the cliffs.

	Ness End Reef and Rum Fauds Bay
	Green Ends Gulley
	Weasel Loch
	Conger Reef

The shore diving opportunities from St. Abbs harbour are more widely known, but involve rather more effort to enter the water. The harbour car park can be full at peak times and is expensive.

	Seagull Rock
	Big Green Carr
	Little Green Carr
	Cathedral Rock

Boat dives can be taken from Eyemouth or St. Abbs and can take in sites from Pettico Wick north of St. Abbs to the various bays south of Eyemouth. Journey times by RIB are usually less then half that for a hard boat.

	Hairy Ness
	Luff Hard Reef
	The Hurkers
	Fold Buss

There are also dive sites on the numerous wrecks that are strewn along the coast including:

	Odense
	Glanmyre
	Mauritanea
	President
