SQSAC FAVE Dive Sites

This one is one of our Fave's as less crowded than St Abbs, and a bit less commercial.

Accessed by a dirt road from the new harbour area, up onto a grassy field.

Two entry points, the first is small gully to the left (north west facing) this is over some boulders and kelp and then it drops quickly to 11mtrs into a steep sided gully with undercuts, cracks and ledges, housing lobsters,crabs, squatties, gobies and the occasional octopus. further out you come to a gully on your right this takes you through another narrow gully that opens out onto a sandy bottom, loads of other gully's and large boulders covered in kelp and soft corals to explore here, it is also possible to swim round into the next bay, and exit via the old sewage pipe.

Care should be taken as currents can run quite strong here. Going straight on at the gully passed a large boulder, the gully widens out and then comes to a 't' junction, turning left it shallows out and eventually you end up at the breakwater for the new harbour, (this used to be the exit point), turning right this takes you around via a network of gullies to the next bay, again take care for currents and don't go to far north as this takes you into the harbour fairway.

The Second entry is off the Old Sewage Pipe (now a concrete path), onto a dense kelp bed with breaks onto sandy patches, heading West takes you around the network of Gullies described above and back into Greenends, heading East takes you into some shallower bays and Gullies
