Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Epave offers some of New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy's richest wreck diving.
The Epave wreck, off the New Brunswick coast, is a solid choice for divers keen on exploring history with a little less fuss. We’ve found her to be a relatively intact steel hull, not too deep, making for some comfortable bottom times. You’ll usually spot flounders hunkered down in the sand around the wreck, and schools of pollock often mill about in the structure. It’s a good spot for newer wreck divers looking to get some experience or for anyone who appreciates the quiet solitude of an older vessel reclaimed by the Bay. Just keep an eye on the local tides; Fundy can certainly move some water around.
Safety Notes
