Great Barrier
Why dive here
Great Barrier lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Dropping Reef in Québec offers a cool, freshwater dive, a different experience from typical ocean sites. We’ve spotted banded killifish zipping past and edible periwinkles clinging to rocks. It’s a great spot for newer divers or those looking to shake up their logbooks with some unique North American species, like the occasional burbot or pumpkinseed.
