“This Seaside Cottage and community here touched our hearts forever,”

The sheltered waters of Hubbards Cove and St. Margaret's Bay are a haven for scuba divers.
The area's many inlets and coves are easy to access and feature interesting rock formations and an abundance of marine life, from corals and other marine plants to finfish, shellfish, seals and sometimes even sharks.
For more experienced divers, able to explore depths of up to 170 feet, the wreckage of a sunken submarine lies just off the Peggy's Cove lighthouse, and other ocean wrecks can be explored nearby off Halifax Harbour.
Sea Wolves Dive Club, organized through Torpedo Ray's Scuba, holds its annual Treasure Hunt the second weekend of September each year at Hubbards Beach, drawing more than 200 divers. The club also organizes other dives in the area at different times of the year.
For more information on local diving, contact Torpedo Ray's (902) 481-0444.
Many underwater sites off our immediate coastline have been captured on video by Sea Monkey Productions. We have offered a sample video for your viewing pleasure.
