About this site
The Craig is one of the shore dive sites within the St Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve, on the North Sea coast of the Scottish Borders. St Abbs sits on a rocky stretch of coastline known for its cold, nutrient-rich water and reef formations of gullies and rock walls. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated an intermediate dive. Divers have also reported strong current in the more exposed areas along with swell, so conditions are worth checking before entry.
