Prospect Wharf: easy Nova Scotia shore dive
Scuba DivingShoreBeginner
Artificial Reef
Easy shore dive on a Nova Scotia wharf, with a silt bottom, tide-sensitive entry, and good local critter hunting.
About Prospect Wharf
Prospect Wharf is an easy Nova Scotia shore dive built around a working wharf, with a shallow silty bottom, quick in-and-out access, and plenty of small critters along the flanks. It is a practical local dive rather than a big-ambition destination, and it works best when you time the tide and keep the silt down.
