Baie de la Vieille - New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy
Baie de la Vieille offers a chance to explore the cooler waters of the Bay of Fundy. We've found the visibility here can vary, but when it’s good, you’ll likely spot common local species like sculpins, anemones, and maybe some small lobsters tucked into the rocks. It’s a good spot for divers looking for a quieter, less-trafficked site, especially those keen on macro life in a temperate environment. We'd suggest checking local conditions before heading out.
