West Dover Govt Wharf

West Dover Government Wharf in Nova Scotia is a beginner-friendly shore dive from a fishing wharf in the picturesque village of West Dover. The wharf pilings and surrounding rocky bottom create a productive marine habitat. Lobsters shelter under the wharf, sea stars and urchins cover the rocks, and schools of cunner weave through the pilings. The wharf's marine growth of mussels and barnacles attracts feeding fish. Night dives are particularly rewarding as the wharf lights illuminate the water, attracting baitfish and nocturnal predators. The village's proximity to Peggys Cove makes this a convenient stop for divers exploring the area.
