Good afternoon,

I get to come home this summer so I'am looking for any shipwrecks that I can surface swim too. Mostly around Halifax area but any part of Nova Scotia would do.

Thanks
Dave

Tribune is another one.. though, it and the Letitia have a fair bit of a hike to reach them.

It has been a few years now so I'm not sure of the surface access anymore, but I have done shore dives to the Hulda (out near Peggy's Cove) and the Perry and Illsworth near Chebucto head, plus the letita and Tribune. The CostaRican Trader, but I think the shore access is blocked now

A.W. Perry and the Isleworth are the ones off Chebucto Head. Isleworth is one of my favourite wrecks, anywhere, and my all time favourite shore dive.

As the name implies I'm a new diver, and am going to be in Nova Scotia this summer visiting family and friends. I'll be looking to log a couple 'beginner' dives, preferably on wrecks that can be shore dives.

If anyone is interested let me know, I'm around July 12-15...

The ammo carrier you're thinking of is probably the Clare Lilly, and while it is close enough to shore to be swimmable, I don't think there is any shore access.
