Diving Bilbo in the Bay of Fundy means contending with the legendary tides. We usually find it’s a drift, the current pulling us past kelp forests and rocky outcrops. Look for sculpins tucked into crevices and, if you’re lucky, a curious harbour seal might zip by. This spot is best for experienced divers comfortable with surge and colder water.
