Carriere Flintkote

★★★★☆ (853)

A great quarry dive with excellent visibility. Watch your depth, however, as you can get quite deep pretty fast. This quarry offers two parking lots and an easy shore entry.

You will see some typical Canadian fresh water fish species like trout, perch, bass, and lake whitefish. Probably some catfish as well.

Cascades (★4.0)

This dive site is in the old Canal Soulange (no longer in use). It has an interesting location near Parc des Ancres (where you will find many old ship anchors). The site is shallow with very calm water. As such, it is easy to silt it up so take caution.

Lock 20 (★4.2)

In 1958 the St-Lawrence seaway was created. The depth of the seaway was increased to allow larger ships to travel to the Great Lakes. As such many villages, road ways, locks, power houses, canals were submerged and can be seen by divers.

Parc Sous Marin Saint-Zotique (★3.4)

The St-Zotique underwater park boasts four wrecks: the Fédéral 11, The Teddy W, The Anne-Marie G, and the Fédéral 4. There are multiple anchors all linked together with cables so divers do not get lost.

Lac de l’Argile - quai public (★0.0)

Shore access to shallow water on lac d’argile (Clay Lake). Clay bottom, easy access from shore. But close to municipal boat ramp. Not a recognized dive site, but some divers have come here to remove Eurasia Watermill weeds

Lac Morgan (★3.6)

From the wharf, you have a surface or underwater swim of about 400m in order to reach a cliff of about 30m deep. Bring a light as it gets dark quickly in this lake. Also, pay attention to where you are swimming and look ahead as there are lots of downed trees laying around in the lake.
