Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Germanicus offers some of New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy's richest diving. Water ranges -1-13°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Germanicus, a wooden schooner wreck, lies in the chilly waters of the Bay of Fundy. Expect a silty bottom and typically low visibility, often less than five meters. It's a dive for those keen on maritime history and the challenge of low-light conditions, rather than vibrant marine life. This site is best suited for experienced cold-water divers comfortable with limited visibility.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 9°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
