The Lillie Parsons
Why dive here
The Lillie Parsons lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
The Lillie Parsons sits on the seabed in the cold, fresh waters of Québec, a wooden schooner now more reef than ship. We’ve found her to be a gentle, accessible wreck for most skill levels, and the visibility here, while not tropical, often surprises us. What’s left of her hull provides shelter for small freshwater fish and crawfish, and the timbers themselves are a study in slow decay and adaptation. It’s a quiet, contemplative dive, a journey back in time where you can trace the outline of a once-proud vessel, now a home for a different kind of life.
