About the diving

The mixture of the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream just off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador attracts thousands of whales, provides rich nestling grounds for millions of seabirds, and brings to life a spectacular underwater garden of flora and fauna.  Add to this pristine water, massive icebergs, and a shipwreck history dating back over 500 years and you have a world class diving destination!

The diving experience in Newfoundland and Labrador extends from May until November and with each week, new and exciting opportunities unfold. Shipwrecks are numerous and very accessible throughout the season. Read more about the shipwrecks by clicking on the link on the left sidebar.

In May and June, massive Greenland icebergs arrive from the north and settle in to various coves and inlets. During the summer months June - August, over 35 million seabirds gather on our rocky shores and several species of whales feed in our nutrient rich waters.

The diving in itself is world class and combined with the natural and cultural history, the experience is exceptional!

About the Icebergs

The best time for Icebergs in Conception Bay is from May to the end of July. From the beauty and majesty of their sheer size to the heart-wrenching memories of ill-fated ships, nothing evokes such a combination of awe, curiosity and caution quite like an iceberg. So if you´re looking for icebergs, you´ve come to the right place. Newfoundland and Labrador is the greatest iceberg theatre in the world. From the east coast of Labrador to Newfoundland´s southern shore, you are in Iceberg Alley, the only place in the world where you can see two or three story icebergs making their way down the Atlantic Ocean from Greenland.
According to the shape and size of the iceberg, we can offer scuba diving on these icebergs. Its amazing to see the actual size of these beauties.

About the Whales

The best month for the whales is July or August when the caplin are rolling in. The most common of the whales in Conception Bay are the Humpback and Minke Whales. These  majestic mammels have quite the stature but are actually just gentle giants who love to frolic. With our 23 ft rigid inflatable boat we can go where ever they go and get magnificent pictures and video. We offer snorkeling and scuba diving with the whales according to your level of diving and the activity of the whales at the time which is a breathtaking experience.
