Les Escoumins

Les Escoumins is a small coastal town in Quebec, Canada, serving as a gateway for local diving along the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. With a couple of nearby dive sites and access to cold-water Atlantic conditions, diving here is modest in scale. The area is known for its river estuary and coastal scenery; freshwater options are not locally prominent, and the dive scene is limited to a handful of centers or operators in the region. Expect cool water, tidal influence, and abundant marine life typical of Gulf of Saint Lawrence estuarine ecosystems, best approached by local operators for site specifics.
