South Reef
Why dive here
South Reef lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Alright, so you’re looking at South Reef in Québec, and let’s be honest, it’s not the Caribbean. But if you’re diving in the region, it’s certainly worth a look. We found it a decent spot for a chilled-out dive, particularly if you’re into the freshwater scene. Keep an eye out for yellow perch darting between the rocks, and those pumpkinseed sunfish are always a treat to watch with their iridescent scales. We even spotted a sea lamprey once, which was… unique. It’s a good choice for newer divers or anyone wanting a relaxed dive without strong currents.
