Hairy Ness
Following the underwater cliff face of Hairy Ness makes a nice easy dive for divers of any level. On the seaward side of this site the current can be quite strong but by planning the direction of your dive you can make this work for rather than against you. The walls of the cliff face on this dive are often the highlight of the dive because of the profusion of dead men's fingers that completely cover the wall.


Luff Hard Reef
Directly below Fort Point is Luff Hard Reef. This reef is a group of intersecting gullies with gravely bottoms. The seaward side of the site forms a steep vertical undercut wall covered in soft corals, some big dahlia anemones and often large sea slugs. At the shallow shoreward side of the reef, mussel beds and large shoals of fish can be found. Gray seals are also common visitors to the site and can sometimes be found lurking in the kelp beds close to shore. This is a slack water dive as the current can be very strong on around the point.

The Hurkers
Rated as the best boat dive in the south of the marine reserve, the Hurkers can be found near the entrance to Eyemouth Harbour. This site, with its steep sided and undercut gullies, is also one of the best places to see large areas of dead men's fingers, huge plumose anemones, light-bulb sea-squirts and starfish. The profusion of life here is due to the very strong tides that sweep through the site. The site demands some respect and is a slack water dive, it is also recommended that smbs be used as the boat traffic to and from Eyemouth Harbour use both the south and west approaches. To the north of this site is Buss Craig where you can find the boiler from the wreck of the S.S. Mauritania, a wooden steam driven fishing boat.

Fold Buss
Known locally as Podley Peaks, this site is seldom dived because it is not an easy site to find, but a good look at the map and an echo sounder will help you. Another reason for the site being little dived regularly is the strong current usually experienced around this site. It is well worth the effort though and, in good conditions, easily compares with the best the area has to offer. This site is the home of some of the largest edible crabs in the area, with large spider crabs and wolf-fish also seen. The local fishermen use this site as a dumping ground, giving it the feel of a wreck site and probably accounting for the profusion of large marine scavengers.
