#1 - Peggys Cove
Canada, Nova Scotia
The flank of the ridge with the lighthouse is a nice granite slope cloaked in a rich kelp forest. Straight out is a gravel and sand plain, but there are several interesting granite ridges running offshore. Fish and plant life are abundant. Currents are minimal but only dive when the swell is light, as exiting up onto the sloping granite ridge can be difficult in waves. Dive only when it is calm.
Peggys Cove overs nice granite bedrock ridge diving with a clean gravel and sand bottom in the lee of the point with the lighthouse, just out front of the restaurant. There is amble parking in the restaurant/lighthouse parking lot. A paved path leads to the top of the granite ridge that is almost like a path down to the water. This dive site is recommended only on calm wind days, with low swell and winds out of the northeast or very light.
