Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Récifs aux Cormorans offers some of New Brunswick & Bay of Fundy's richest reef diving. Water ranges -1-13°C, warmest July, August, September.
Récifs aux Cormorans is an interesting dive if you find yourself exploring the New Brunswick coast. It’s certainly not a tropical reef, but the cold water here brings its own beauty. We’ve found some surprisingly resilient corals clinging to the rocky substrate, often with thick kelp forests swaying above. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, often brighter than you’d expect against the grey rock. It's a good spot for a relaxed dive, suitable for divers comfortable with temperate water.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 9°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
