Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - GIUAN offers some of New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy's richest wreck diving. Water ranges -1-13°C, warmest July, August, September.
The GIUAN wreck in the Bay of Fundy sits shallow, just two metres down, making it an easy shore dive for anyone keen to explore a piece of history. This old carrier, built in '53 and sunk in '69, ran hard aground and now her remains are spread across the seabed. You'll find sections of hull and superstructure, and it's interesting to imagine the ship’s original scale even with parts broken up. It's a fun site for new divers or those looking for a relaxed poke around, with the bonus of finding crabs and small fish sheltering in the metalwork.
