26 Aug 1984 St Abbs Head South side of the Firth of Forth Forth Scotland 23 25 25 Iain Hosking, John Llambias Three stars 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
