YD 3 - St Abbs before Farnes June 25, 2005
Posted by Mark Gilmour in : Dive Reports, UK diving , trackbackThis was the pre event to the YD3 North gig, two days worth of diving out of St Abbs just over the border into Scotland.
My buddy for this trip and the subsequent Farnes dives was Clare (Gledders from YD), we travelled up Thursday evening to arrive around Midnight ready to go diving on the Friday. Claire posted a bit of a trip report on YD - to read that click here
As a brief summary, the first dive was a drift along the coast line called Black Carr, where we managed to lose Claire. As we were diving in a three and had agreed that if we got seperated and everything was comfortable to carry on on our planned tim which was 40 minutes this wasn’t so much of a concern. However Helen and I surfaced a few minutes early as she thumbed the dive. Black Carr itself was itself very enjoyble as a drift dive, with lots of life, including pollack, anemones and dead mens fingers gracing the rocks.
Our second dive was Skelly cove, which again was very pretty, with lots of gullies, nooks and crannies to look around.
A very enjoyable place to go diving, Pete and Billy the skippers are excellent and very laid back making it a very pleasant experience.

[…] I went along last year and it was an excellent couple of days, first of all in St Abbs, and then a day in the Farnes with the seals. […]
