Alfred Erlandsen & Ebb Carrs (10 - 25m)
This Danish steel steamship ran aground at Ebbs Carrs in 1907. All 16 of her crew perished and the only survivor was a Great Dane dog which was found on the cliff tops the next morning.
Glanmire (28 - 35m)
In 1912 the 1141 tonne steamship struck the Black Carrs Rock then drifted until she finally sank 300m north of St Abbs lighthouse. She is spread over a large area. The plates, which are left, are carpeted in dead men's fingers and plumose anemones.
This is a slack water dive only, but it is well worth it as there is a wide variety of sea life there.
Odense (10 - 20m)
Odense was a 1756 tonne Danish steamship, sunk by a German U-Boat in 1917. She is also known as the 'Peanut boat' owing to her cargo, which was washed up over the length of the Berwickshire coast for weeks after.
Skellies Hole (0 - 25m)
Skellies Hole is a sheltered bay surrounded by cliffs and rocks where the walls are covered with kelp, soft corals, sponges and anemones. A sandy channel leads to the Skells, an area with huge boulders covered in soft corals and gullies covered in anemones.
Black Carrs (8 - 30m)
Black Carrs are a group of rocks north of St Abbs. The site includes a confusing jumble of very large boulders with diverse marine life including anemones and dead men's fingers, congers and often wolf fish.
Brander Point (27m)
Brander Point can't be missed, it runs out from the shore down to a depth of 27m. The best diving is to be had along the undercut head wall that runs round the point into the next bay. The walls are covered in soft corals, anemones, and starfish. Ballen wrasse are also commonly seen.
Fast Castle
Fast Castle and its remote and wild setting is a highly unexplored dive site. Allegedly there is a fortune in Spanish gold hidden in a cave beneath the castle! There is lots of good diving to be had here along the numerous offshore reefs and headlands.
The Barnyard (5 - 15m)
This is a very popular shallow dive which is suitable from novice upwards. You will be surrounded with sea birds before your dive and there will be a few swimming past you during your dive.
Ty's Tunnel (5-20m)
As the name suggests you will be entering this tunnel on high water. It's a great swim through with plenty of life in the nooks and crannies.
Anemone Gully (10 - 25m)
Is an excellent place to see anemones. This is a really good dive site for the vast colours and the variety of marine life is outstanding. Also watch out for the guillemots looking for lunch.
