About Mill Cove Marina
Mill Cove Marina is a straightforward wharf-and-ramp shore dive with an easy entry and a shallow rock-wall profile that works well for training. The route follows the ramp and wharf, where silty harbour water and debris make buoyancy control more important than distance. Off-season dives are calmer, while summer boat traffic and marina use make timing and surface awareness more important. Sea stars, crabs, nudibranchs, and the odd lobster are the usual draw.

A straightforward training dive that rewards buoyancy practice and deliberate navigation along the wharf and rock wall.
