The Forest City
Why dive here
The Forest City lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
The Forest City wreck in Québec feels like a proper piece of history sunk beneath the St. Lawrence. Dropping down, you’re greeted by its largely intact structure, a grand old steamship slowly being reclaimed by the river. We love exploring the various levels and holds, imagining its past life. You’ll spot plenty of freshwater fish, like pike and bass, darting through doorways, and the hull itself is fuzzy with sponges and algae, creating a living tapestry. It’s a compelling dive for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the stories these old vessels tell, and a good reminder that exciting diving isn't just for the tropics.
