Whales Back, Canada

About Whales Back

A reef dive. It goes down to 15 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 3°C in March, its coldest month (drysuit), and 14°C in September, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Lunenburg, is 174 km away. Nearest airport: YSJ (YSJ), 213 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
