Peach Passage

Peach Passage in Nova Scotia is an intermediate dive through a narrow channel between rocky outcrops where tidal water flows create interesting diving conditions. The passage walls are covered with cold-water organisms that thrive in the current — plumose anemones, breadcrumb sponges, and colonies of hydroids. Schools of cunner and pollock use the passage as a transit corridor, and lobsters shelter in the rocky walls. Timing the tides is important for safe diving, with slack water providing the most relaxed experience. The unique channel topography and concentrated marine life make this a memorable local dive.
