I guide small, calm tours along a cold-water coastline most visitors only see from the road. Proper gear, a clear briefing, and steady company in the water. Just you, me, and the Atlantic.
Every booking is a private 2.5-hour session for your group alone. I fit you with a 7mm wetsuit on shore, walk you through the route, then guide you through kelp beds and along granite ledges at an easy pace. You leave with an underwater photo album and a hot drink in hand.

Cunners that follow you around, crabs with attitude, moon jellies drifting past, and the occasional nosy harbour seal. Browse the species spotlight, learn a fun fact or two, and start your own spotted list before you even get wet.

Paddy's Head, Cranberry Cove, and St Margaret's Beach — a sheltered classic, our granite home base, and the warm sandy shallows. Explore the interactive map, then check live tides, wind, and water temperature before you pick your day.

I'm a certified diver, licensed vessel operator, and marine wildlife guide, born and raised on this coastline. I keep groups small, read the water carefully, and stay beside you from the first step in to the last step out.
This is how you get into it, with someone who knows every ledge, every species, and every current.
I explain what you're seeing in plain language: why the kelp grows where it does, what the crabs are doing, and how the tide shapes the whole shoreline.
7mm wetsuits, hoods, gloves, and boots keep you warm in the Atlantic, and I fit everything on shore before you get in.
The pace is easy, the route stays close to shore, and turning around early is always an option. No pressure, just curiosity.
“Abby has a real gift for making you feel at ease in the water. I spotted a crab tucked under a rock and a school of tiny fish I never would have noticed. Easily the best few hours I've spent on the South Shore.”

“I was nervous about cold-water snorkeling, but Abby made the whole thing feel calm and doable. The gear was warm, the pace was easy, and she pointed out so much I would have missed on my own.”

“The tour felt professional without feeling stiff. We knew exactly what to bring, where to meet, and what would happen in the water. The coastline is beautiful, and Abby clearly knows it well.”
