StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Indian Point, on Nova Scotia's rugged coastline, offers a glimpse into temperate diving. We’ve found the entry can be a bit challenging, but once in, you'll see kelp forests swaying with the surge, and often spot lobsters tucked into crevices. It's a spot for divers keen on exploring cooler waters and doesn't rely on vibrant coral, instead focusing on the unique local ecosystem. This site is best for experienced cold-water divers comfortable with variable conditions.

Safety Notes

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