Why dive here
Récifs de Niapiskau lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Récifs de Niapiskau, up in Québec, is one of those places that reminds you how much more there is to explore, even in colder water. It’s a proper reef, which can be a surprise for some divers unfamiliar with the region, and it supports a good number of species. We’ve seen everything from witch flounders settled on the bottom to wolf-fish peering out from crevices. Keep an eye out for common sea stars and green sea urchins clinging to the rock, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a friendly blade shrimp. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate the subtle beauty of temperate marine environments and want something a little different from the usual tropical spots.
