Africville Ramp Dive Site

Africville Ramp Dive Site in Halifax, Nova Scotia, offers beginner-friendly shore diving from a boat ramp on the Bedford Basin. The ramp provides the easiest water entry on the basin, leading to a gently sloping bottom of silt and rock. Despite the harbour location, the site supports a surprising variety of marine life including lobsters, sea stars, flatfish, and schools of silversides. The sheltered basin conditions ensure calm diving year-round, and the ramp's accessibility makes it popular for training and night dives. The site provides an interesting urban diving experience in the heart of Halifax.
