LADY ERA - New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy

The Lady Era is a wreck dive, but it's not what you'd typically expect. She’s beached, essentially, hard aground in the shallows of the Bay of Fundy, and that's precisely why we love her. At a max depth of 2 metres, you’re looking at a snorkel or a very, very shallow dive, and yes, the current can be a real factor here, so pick your slack tide carefully. What you get is this massive, broken hull, all 139 metres of her, exposed to the elements and slowly being reclaimed. It’s less about penetration and more about exploring the mangled superstructure from above. Think rusticles in incredible shades of orange and brown, and barnacles forming thick, crusty layers on every surface. We've seen sculpins tucked into crevices, their eyes watching you warily, and on a good day, the water clarity lets you pick out crabs scuttling across the plates. It’s an unusual wreck, for sure, perfect for photographers keen on the raw, decaying beauty of a ship left to the sea, or for those who simply want a different kind of interaction with history. Come at low slack, when the current eases and the sun can really illuminate the colours.
