HMS Serapis - Nosy Be
The Flats, off the Nova Scotian coast, offers a pretty unique kind of dive for those willing to brave the chill. It’s not about dramatic drop-offs or technicolour coral. Instead, think rocky terrain, kelp forests swaying with the surge, and a surprisingly robust community of cold-water critters. We’ve spotted everything from curious lumpsuckers clinging to the fronds to the subtle camouflage of a long rough dab on the silty bottom. Bull rout often peer out from under ledges, and you might even catch an Atlantic cod drifting past. It's a dive that rewards slow exploration and a keen eye, perfect for anyone who appreciates the quieter beauty of a temperate ecosystem.
