Paddys Head

Paddys Head in Nova Scotia is a beginner-friendly shore dive on a rocky headland along St. Margarets Bay. The site offers easy water entry and a gently sloping rocky bottom with good kelp coverage and scattered boulders providing habitat variety. The headland's position creates slight current that brings nutrients and supports healthy marine communities. Lobsters, moon snails, and multiple species of sea stars are regular finds. The bay's generally calm conditions and moderate visibility make this a dependable local dive site. Summer months offer the best conditions with warmer water and improved visibility for comfortable exploration.
