Dive Sites

These are a small selection of the dive sites that we visit as a club.
 

Bass Rock

Launching from North Berwick, Bass Rock lies 3 miles to the North East. It offers mainly scenic diving including wolf fish, octopus, seals and diving gannets. The north wall runs from the surface to between 15m to the West, 30m to the East.

Craigleith

Craigleith a mile North of North Berwick harbour and usually easily accessible when sites further afield are blown out. To the South, the seabed runs between 10 and 15m and offers an attractive bolder wall full of life. A fine drift dive.

Lamb

The Lamb lies a short way to the West of North Berwick harbour. It is the smallest of the islands that lie immediately out from North Berwick. There is an intersting dive at High Water between the main island and the North Dog.

Fidra

Scenic diving in shallow waters with many bays and gullies that are home to numerous lobsters. The north of the island offers great drift dives between the small islets and sandy bottomed gullies.

Platcock Rocks

A shore dive from the low water quay, North Berwick. A shallow shore dive, between 3 and 6m depending on the state of tide.

Isle Of May

The Isle of May lies closer to Fife than to the South side of the Forth. Because there is much open water to cross, we visit only on calm days and make a whole day of the trip,. The diving here is quite spectacular with walls, drop offs, ridges, reefs & gullies that slope down to the seabed where the remains of wrecks can be found. There are two landing stages on the island so surface intervals can be spent ashore, where the bird reserve makes for an interesting and scenic stop over.
