StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Bayswater is a shore dive in Nova Scotia, a good spot for new divers to get comfortable. You’ll find a gradual slope, easy entry, and usually calm conditions. Expect to see some kelp, small fish, and maybe a crab or two scuttling on the bottom. It’s not a thrill-a-minute dive, but it's a solid training ground.

Safety Notes

Cold water this month (avg 15°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
