Scout Reef
Why dive here
Scout Reef lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Scout Reef in Québec offers a different kind of dive. It's not your typical tropical coral, but an active freshwater ecosystem, complete with burbot lurking near the bottom and schools of yellow perch darting through the clearer patches. We've seen Chinook salmon here, a real treat to observe in their natural environment. The visibility can be variable, but when it’s good, the sheer number of fish, like the silvery flash of spottail shiners, is impressive. It’s a compelling site for divers keen on observing temperate water species and those looking for a unique Canadian freshwater experience.
