#1 - Lower Prospect Community Wharf
Canada, Nova Scotia
The marine life is rich on the granite flanks of the islands and timing the tides can give you a nice drift dive in Ryans Gut with rich kelp forest on the flanks and scallops and a nice clean gravel bottom down the middle.
The area right off the wharf goes to 8m quickly and is a soft muddy bottom, with its own type of critters. The nicest diving is on the rocky flanks of the island all around.
Fish life is plentiful from flounder, cunners to passing schools of herring!
The Lower Prospect Community Wharf offers safe, easy diving with good parking and easy access off a floating dock. A dive float/flag is recommended for the summer season when there is some boat traffic. Late fall through winter and early spring there is little boat activity. The nice diving is on the flanks of the islands - the wharf is on Hennesseys Island, and heading right along it is a nice dive. Out front of the wharf is Laceys Island, and it is deeper on the side you see and only 2 to 4m deep on the back side. A high tide circumnavigation of this island makes a nive dive. About 100m to the right (east) is the gap between Hennesseys Island and Ryans Island, called Ryans Gut - it is very nice diving and a slight current, but more boat traffic.
