Eyemouth-harbour base with scuba diving, kit hire, and air fills for the local St Abbs and Eyemouth area.
Tide-timed shore gully dive with kelp and rock life.
Tide-timed shore gully dive with kelp and rock life.
A tide-sensitive shore dive through kelp-lined gullies, boulders, and sandy pockets. The entry is rocky and best timed for high water, then the route threads through channels and side gullies before opening into quieter pockets of rock and kelp. Expect a small-site feel with plenty of cover, but plan for current, surge, and poorer visibility after wind.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
0m - 13m
Depth Note
Shallow shore entry; the main gully drops quickly to around 11-13m before shallowing back into adjoining gullies.
Best Season
Year-round; calm weather and high tide matter most.
Typical Conditions
Kelp, boulders, and side gullies with a tide-sensitive entry; current, surge, and visibility can change quickly.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Use the high-tide window, expect a slippery low-water scramble, and watch for current, surge, and fishing line along the gully network.
Access Restrictions
High-tide timing is strongly preferred; low-water access is awkward and slippery.
Legal Notes
Use the designated dive shore road and follow Eyemouth Harbour parking and access rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The site suits scuba best: a short shore approach, shallow gully network, and enough structure to follow a relaxed loop when the tide is right.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site. The rocky access, current sensitivity, and low-water scramble make it a better fit for scuba.
Snorkeling
Only a calm-window option for confident snorkellers; the rocky access and current make it primarily a scuba site.
