Anyone out there interested in Diving Halifax, Nova Scotia or around the Avalon Pennisula of Newfoundland? Both are located in Atlantic Canada and both are home to numerous wrecks.
Nova Scotia has about 2000 accessable wrecks off the coast. Most in relatively shallow water 60-150 ft. While Newfoundland has many more, most of which have not been found to date. Some of the more popular Newfoundland wrecks are the Bell Island wrecks. They are 4 large ships that were sunk by a German U-Boat during WWII and are located in 60-160 ft depending on the wreck. As well there are numerous other vessels that are laden with coins and silverware to this day (if you are into sovenier hunting). The Anglo Saxon is a relatively virgin wreck as most people are unaware of its location.
If you are interested and would like to know more drop me a line.
