Brise Lame - New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy
The Brise Lame offers a chance to explore the Bay of Fundy's colder waters. You'll likely encounter common local species, perhaps some crabs scuttling over the bottom, or an occasional flounder tucked into the sand. Visibility here can be a bit challenging, often dropping, so it’s best suited for divers comfortable in murkier conditions who want to tick off a New Brunswick dive.
