Pointe-au-Père

Pointe-au-Père is a large lake located a few hours north of Toronto. It is known for great visibility and at least 25 shallow wrecks. Pointe-au-Père, which is part of the town of Rimouski in the province of Quebec, has shipwreck diving. The town is located where the St. Lawrence River widens and nearby becomes the Gulf of St Lawrence.

There are a number of shipwrecks in the area, including the Empress of Ireland. This ship sunk in 1914 and is doomed as the Titanic of Canada. Indeed, it collided with the Storstad, a Norwegian ship, and sank in less than 15 minutes, killing over 1000 people. Today the wreck sits in 100 feet (30 m) of water. Visitors should go during April, August, and September because this time is suitable for you to scuba dive and see the life under the ocean. You can even see and play with baby turtles in the open sea.
