Takat Bunginsaor - Bali
Newellton Reef, off Nova Scotia, offers a solid cold-water dive. It's not a riot of color, but you'll find plenty to intrigue, especially if you appreciate the hardy species that thrive in these northern waters. We often spot Atlantic cod hovering near rocky outcrops, and American lobsters peek out from crevices. Keep an eye out for lumpsuckers clinging to the kelp, their goofy faces always a welcome sight. It’s a good spot for divers keen on exploring a genuinely Canadian reef ecosystem, a refreshing change from the usual tropical fare.
