Alright, let's talk about Clamor. Most divers hear "wreck" and picture depths, maybe some swim-throughs, but Clamor throws all that out the porthole. It’s barely submerged, a fishing vessel that ran aground and then decided to settle in for good. You’re literally diving in about two metres of water, sometimes less depending on the tide. Our favourite thing about Clamor is how accessible it makes wreck diving. You can snorkel it, free dive it, or just about stand up in it with a tank on. The stern post and mast often poke out of the water, a stark reminder of its past life. What you'll find below is a wonderfully collapsed frame, twisted metal, and the ghostly outline of what was once a working boat. We love how the kelp has embraced every surface, creating a living tapestry. Look closely and you’ll spot sculpins nestled in the wreckage, tiny crabs scuttling amongst the barnacles, and sometimes a curious harbour seal will pop by to say hello. It's not a deep, dark wreck, but it's full of character and a really unique way to experience a piece of Newfoundland's maritime history. If you're looking for an easy, fascinating surface interval dive or just want to explore a wreck without the commitment of deep water, Clamor is your spot. Just remember a good wetsuit, that North Atlantic chill is real even when it's shallow.
