Ropes off from Eyemouth on a lovely sunny day and a wee SE breeze. We headed north past St. Abbs head and then west to Fast Castle.
The bay to the south west of the headland was nicely sheltered and the remains of the tide drifted us NE across rocky reefs and pinnacles rising from 20 to 10 m. Seal pups played around us in the shallows as we neared the end of the dive near the rocks behind the point.

After a hot cup or 2 of tea and some of the terrific shortbread we motored back to St. Abbs head and dived on the Skellys. Most thought this was the better dive, but with stunning viz on both it was splitting hairs to decide.
