Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Récif Noir offers some of New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy's richest reef diving. Water ranges -1-13°C, warmest July, August, September.
Récif Noir in New Brunswick presents a cool water diving experience, suitable for those keen on exploring the less-traveled reefs of Canada. The site holds a diverse collection of marine life common to the Bay of Fundy, though specific species aren't widely documented. Visibility can be a factor here, so we'd suggest picking a calm day with good tidal conditions for the clearest views. It's a dive for adventurers rather than those seeking typical tropical reef colours.
