About Indian Point

Indian Point is a sheltered shore dive in St. Margaret's Bay with a gentle rocky entry and a shallow profile over sand and rock. The site suits novice divers and macro photography, with lobsters, crabs, flounder, and the occasional seal showing up when conditions are calm. It works best as a slow shore entry on a higher tide or slack window, and north or northeast winds can make the bay less comfortable.
