Diving Quebec City

Ferry · January 17th, 2008, 01:52 PM

There is a chance I will be in Quebec City between 13 - 22 of August. Maybe I can spend some days diving so I'm looking for
any information regarding diving in that area. Diveshops, boatcharters, wrecks, available equiptment rental. Any posibilies of diving the Empess of Ireland?

I haven't found much info yet, and what is available is in French.
Any and all information is welcome.

best,
Ferry

I am sure you can hook up with one of our team mates. He is the sole GUE diver in the area. They dive a quarry locally. PM me for his info

The Empress is only a few hours away..but most people spend a few days in that area, as the chances of getting blown out and not diving are quite high due to the weather.

There is also shore diving in Les Escoumins, which gives you abundant sea life and a unique experience. I would plan on at least a couple of days outside the city itself to see the dive sites.

Expect water temperatures to be close to 0 celsius.
