The Arabia
Why dive here
The Arabia lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
The Arabia, sitting in the chilly waters of Québec, offers a proper wreck dive. What makes this site special isn't just the thrill of exploring an old ship, but how nature has taken over. We've seen freshwater sponges clinging to the hull and different fish species darting through the cargo holds, making it a living museum. It's a dive that suits those who appreciate the quiet mystery of a sunken vessel and don't mind the cooler temperatures that come with Canadian diving. Just be prepared for limited visibility at times, which only adds to the atmospheric vibe.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
