Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Expect a cold-water rock-and-wall dive with anemones, urchins, crabs, and occasional whale activity at the surface.
Freedive
Freedive use is limited; treat this as a calm-condition snorkel or scuba shore dive, not a freedive target.
Snorkel
The shallow bay can work for snorkelling on calm days, but the cold water and tide swings mean it still behaves like a proper St. Lawrence site.
