StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Blueberry Bay Reef gives you a taste of Nova Scotia’s cooler waters. It's a site that often surprises people with its quiet charm, even if it won't rival tropical destinations. We’ve found the best diving here happens on a calm day, when you can really settle in and search for the smaller stuff. Look out for American lobsters tucked into crevices and Atlantic cod patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy a more relaxed pace, happy to explore the nooks and crannies.
