About West Hurker

One of the many beautiful and scenic dive in the St Abbs Coast. The West Hurker is a prolific rock formation that sits offshore, North on St Abbs Head. Its a easy shore dive, leading to a shallow sandy bottom. The formation is covered in dense corals, seafans and sponges of all sorts, and surrounded by a large array of marin elife. This is a photographers haven. Very colorful and very interesting.
