The Hairy Geisha, St Abbs

About this site

The Hairy Geisha is one of St Abbs Marine Reserve's most celebrated dive sites, a rocky reef completely smothered in enormous white plumose anemones that give the site its memorable name. The spectacle of a wall covered entirely in these metre-tall anemones swaying in the gentle current is one of British diving's most iconic underwater sights.
