New Harbour

New Harbour on the South Shore of Nova Scotia is a beginner-friendly shore dive in a charming fishing village setting. The harbour's sheltered waters provide calm conditions over a rocky bottom with scattered kelp coverage. Old fishing gear, lost traps, and harbour debris add artificial reef interest to the natural rocky habitat. The nutrient-rich harbour waters support healthy populations of lobsters, crabs, cunner, and sea stars. The authentic Maritime village atmosphere enhances the diving experience, and the easy conditions make this suitable for all levels. Night dives in the harbour can be particularly productive as nocturnal species become active.
