The fish shack

The Fish Shack in Nova Scotia is an intermediate shore dive named for a waterfront fish processing building near the dive entry point. The underwater area in front of the old shack features nutrient-enriched waters that support exceptionally productive marine life. Large concentrations of lobsters and crabs gather near the rocky bottom, attracted by the historically nutrient-rich waters. The rocky terrain with kelp coverage provides diverse habitat from the shallows to moderate depth. Pollock, cunner, and sculpin are abundant fish species. The site offers reliable diving conditions and surprisingly rich marine encounters for an easily accessible shore dive.
