Gilphie Reef
Why dive here
Gilphie Reef lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Gilphie Reef offers a look at freshwater coral, a rarity in this region. You’ll mostly find smaller fish like mottled sculpin, alewife, and pumpkinseed navigating the reef structure. It's a calmer dive, good for those interested in unique aquatic habitats rather than big fish action, with potential for pike or burbot sightings if you're lucky.
