Why dive here
Récifs de l'Est lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Récifs de l'Est offers a different kind of North American diving, a cold-water experience that really rewards patience. You won't find tropical colours here, but what you will encounter is a robust ecosystem adapted to the cooler Atlantic. Look for the wolf-fish tucked into rocky crevices, and keep an eye out for curious white-beaked dolphins passing through. We’ve spotted Greenland shrimp and plenty of Atlantic rock crabs scuttling about the substrate. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the subtle beauty of temperate waters and aren’t afraid of a thicker wetsuit.
