About Portia
Portia is a shifting wreck dive off Halifax that changes as sand moves over and away from the structure. It rewards repeat visits because the exposed outline and features do not stay the same for long. Treat it as a drift-leaning wreck look rather than a fixed route, and plan the day around whichever sections are visible. The variability is the main reason people keep coming back.
