Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Cayes Noires offers some of New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy's richest reef diving.
Cayes Noires isn't your typical tropical coral reef, so ditch those expectations before you jump in. What you *do* get here is a fascinating look at how hardy life thrives in cooler waters. Think anemones in vibrant oranges and purples clinging to rock walls, their tentacles swaying gently with the surge. We often spot sculpin tucked into crevices, perfectly camouflaged, and if you’re lucky, a curious harbour seal might pop by to say hello. It's a dive for those who appreciate the subtle beauty of temperate reefs and enjoy a bit of an exploration challenge.
