The Tugs (Wreck)
Why dive here
The Tugs (Wreck) lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Diving the Tugs in Québec means embracing cooler water, but the reward is a pair of well-preserved wrecks resting upright. We particularly enjoy poking around the wheelhouses, imagining these boats working the St. Lawrence. You'll often spot schools of yellow perch darting in and out of the broken superstructure, and if you’re patient, a mottled sculpin might peek out from a shadowed crevice. It’s a solid freshwater wreck dive, ideal for those who appreciate the history beneath the surface and don't mind a drysuit.
