Why dive here
Pierre du Gros Cap lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Pierre du Gros Cap offers Québec divers a chance to explore a northern coral reef. We’ve found a mix of cold-water coral species here, an unusual sight in these latitudes. It's a good spot for divers keen on seeing what the colder Atlantic can offer beyond wrecks and rocky walls. Expect a quieter dive, but a rewarding one for macro enthusiasts.
