Mill Cove Marina

About this dive site

Mill Cove Bedford offers a unique diving experience with several distinct areas to explore. This location is particularly well-suited for diving during the late fall and winter months, when boat traffic in the summer reduces crowding. The wharf walls are strikingly pink due to mineral deposits, creating an unusual and beautiful underwater landscape teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to find a variety of invertebrates including lobsters and nudibranchs amongst the rocks. A notable feature is an old Target shopping cart that has become colonized by marine organisms – it’s a fascinating piece of submerged history. Two primary dive routes are available: first, exploring around the wharf itself; second, crossing over to the other side of Mill Cove Marina for a longer wharf exploration, and finally, investigating the cove's pink rocks for additional wildlife sightings. Following your dives, East Coast Scuba & Watersports is just a short 6-minute drive away, offering convenient access for tank refills and equipment rinsing, along with the opportunity to enjoy a hot coffee or tea.
