About this site
Black Rock Beach is a shore dive site on the Nova Scotia coast, with a maximum depth of around 15.2 metres and a difficulty rating suited to beginners. It is entered directly from the beach, and a single source notes several hazards to be aware of there, including a drop from the parking lot down to the beach, rocks along the left side of the entry, lobster traps in the water, a shallow shoal on the left at low tide, and sediment that can reduce visibility. That same source also mentions distraction from onlookers as a consideration given the site's shore access.
