Les Escoumins is reached by road on Quebec's north shore via Route 138. From the Quebec City / Charlevoix direction, the road includes the Tadoussac to Baie-Sainte-Catherine ferry over the mouth of the Saguenay. The ferry is free, accepts cars and pedestrians and does not take reservations; allow time for queues and check the live operator timetable. Quebec City Jean Lesage Airport (YQB) is a useful air gateway for a rental car; Montreal Trudeau (YUL) offers another gateway with a longer onward land journey. No current flight or transfer duration is guaranteed. The dive base is at 41 rue des Pilotes in Les Escoumins.

A car or prearranged transport is the practical choice for moving with dive cylinders or thermal gear between Les Escoumins, Les Bergeronnes and Tadoussac. Intercar publishes some services through Tadoussac and Grandes-Bergeronnes, but the dive-centre operator explicitly says public transport does not serve the base itself.
