An underwater universe of enchanting colors, inhabited by an abundance of flora and fauna, the Escoumins site is, with good reason, one of the best destinations for saltwater diving in Quebec.
Easily accessible, located on the North Shore, near the Saguenay Fjord, the Centre de Découverte du Milieu Marin is the main attraction for diving in the region. It is also an interpretation center for the fauna and flora of the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park. Visitors can discover the subarctic underwater ecosystem and hear diver-biologists describe its particularities.
Enjoy your visit, good diving and good discoveries!
In preparation for your visit
This season, come and immerse yourself in this section of the estuary of our majestic St. Lawrence River and discover one of the most prized places in the Quebec diving community. You will understand why divers return year after year to explore this unique environment. You will see that these colorful sea beds, densely covered with anemones, sponges, algae and sea urchins, are of an unsuspected richness and have nothing to envy to those of tropical destinations. However, there is one condition: you must be willing to brave the icy waters!
