English (Traduisez ce texte en Français): The dive is under and above, or north, of the concrete bridge in the community of Sambro south of Halifax out the Herring Cove Road. This is the only bridge in Sambro. A local has let us park in his parking lot and go down his boat ramp about 100 m before the bridge, but for easy public access, cross the bridge and park on the shoulder of the gravel road on the right directly across the bridge.

Informations supplémentaires
English (Traduisez ce texte en Français): We usually enter just below the bridge from a small path that leads to a little inlet just above the old footings for the original bridge. This puts the divers in up current of the bridge so the dive is under the bridge and below it. It is not always possible to get back up to the entry against the current, unless you've timed the tides to switch and flow out, dropping.
This dive is done on an incoming tide. Out going, or dropping, is not useful at this site.
Dive plan -
- dive on a dropping tide
- dive spring, fall or winter, rarely summer due to boat traffice going under the bridge (September to May inclusive best)
- stay low to see sponges, kelp forest and sea anemones
- plan to go under the bridge, travel about 30 m, they swim up sloop to the west side of the bridge to slip into a large lagoon, picking up its back eddy to coast around it back to the west bridge footing
- do several loops out of the lagoon, down slope just above the bridge to pick up the current, drift away from the bridge, then swim up sloop to pick up the back eddy in the lagoon
The left, western, shore has nice boulders and little cliffs rich with sea anemones. If divers miss the lagoon with its back eddy, stay on bottom and work west (left) up slope into the seaweed shallows along the shoreline. The current is much, much weaker along the shore in 1 m of water. Snorkel back to the lagoon in the shallows tight against the left bank. The small bay above the bridge opens up, so the current drops to less than a knot 150 m above the bridge.
Rich seaweeds, sponges, sea anemones, fish, crabs, lobsters and nudibranchs abound in this area due to the current.
This is an advanced dive, or a dive training location to teach current diving.
Exit is often in the lagoon above the bridge from its corner at the bridge where a steep gravel trail leads up to the west end of the bridge.
This is a rich marine life dive and an excellent location to try current diving. The harbour below the bridge is also good, but has boat traffic and care is needed to dive there.
