About Us
‘Dive St.Abbs’ was founded by Paul Crowe in 2004. A local man, he was born in St.Abbs and operates his own vessel, the MV. ‘Shore Diver’
She is fully equipped for the safety and comfort of her passengers and is suitable for all types of charter.
Paul, Rachel and their family, live at Rock House which is situated harbour-side in the village of St. Abbs. Paul’s family have been fishermen for many generations, so it isn’t a surprise that he chose the same career for himself, following in the family’s tradition.

Paul knows just how much this area has to offer, both above and below the waves, adding so much to the enjoyment of the charter experience for all his passengers.
