About Halifax Point
Halifax Point is a shore-access dive on the Fly Point-Halifax Park reserve, where a marked entry leads to rocky ledges, sponge gardens, kelp, and fish-rich slopes. It suits experienced divers who can manage strong tidal flow and boat traffic, with the best runs timed to high slack water. Expect a compact headland profile, vivid growth on the ledges, and plenty of life when conditions line up.
