Dartmouth

Dartmouth in Nova Scotia sits across the harbor from Halifax and acts as a coastal access point for the Bay of Fundy. The city itself has limited diving activity, with most options found nearby in Halifax or coastal sites along the bay. Expect basic coastal conditions, with cold water, typical Atlantic sea life, and strong tidal flows in the Bay of Fundy if venturing to the nearby venues. Given the city’s inland-ish locale and the absence of local dive sites, most divers use Dartmouth as a gateway to regional dive centers and shore or boat access in the wider Halifax area.
