West Reef
Why dive here
West Reef lies in a species-rich stretch of Québec, with 44+ marine species recorded in the area.
Alright, West Reef in Québec. Not one of the usual suspects, which is part of its charm. We've found this spot offers a surprisingly robust dive, especially if you're keen to see a different kind of temperate reef. You'll likely encounter large schools of Rainbow Smelt, particularly when they’re spawning, creating a silvery curtain of activity. Keep an eye out for Eurasian Whimbrel foraging along the shallower edges too. It's a solid choice for those looking to explore beyond the tropical norms and appreciate the quieter, rugged beauty of Canadian waters.
