Grand Narrows

Grand Narrows is an advanced dive site in the Bras d'Or Lakes on Cape Breton Island, where a narrow passage creates strong tidal currents as water flows between sections of this inland sea. The rocky channel walls support unique brackish-water ecosystems where marine and freshwater species coexist. The current-swept rocks are covered with anemones and sponges, while lobsters and large fish shelter in the rocky formations. The strong, unpredictable currents demand advanced diving skills and precise tide timing. The unique ecology of this inland sea passage and the possibility of encountering marine species in a lake setting make this a truly distinctive dive.
