Louise P - New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy
The Louise P, a 45-foot fishing trawler, sits upright in the Bay of Fundy, typically found in around 20-25 metres of water. It's a solid wreck for those looking to explore an intact vessel rather than a debris field. Visibility can be hit or miss, as is common in the Bay, but when it's good, you’ll likely spot cod, flounders, and plenty of anenomes clinging to the structure. This site suits divers comfortable with colder water and variable conditions, offering a decent penetration option for qualified wreck divers.
