26 Aug 1984 | St Abbs Head | South side of the Firth of Forth | Forth | Scotland | 23 | 25 | 25 | Iain Hosking, John Llambias | Dived below the lighthouse after a long and abortive search for the 'Glanmire'. Sea rough - ebb tide and wind against it. Dive was enjoyable - good vis, shoal of fish, deep bedrock gullies covered in dead men's fingers and crabs. | own |
