Wreck of the Arrow
This wreck is one of the most beautiful artificial reefs in the North Atlantic.
It lies upright, on a flat stone ground in max. 27 m depth.
Superstructures reach up to 7 m and can be seen from the water surface with good visibility.
The 160 m long ship sank in 1970 and was broken into two parts.
Fox Island Westsite
This small island is 75 minutes from Janvrins Steg.
Moonfish, dolphins and whales are often observed on the way to this dive site.
Protected in a small bay of the island are colonies of red soft coral.
Cod and large swarms of mackerel are often observed here.
Wreck of the Baleine
The Baleine is a beautiful little wreck with a length of about 40 meters.
It lies upright on a ground at a depth of max. 23 meters.
At the bow there are still both anchors, cheeky cliff-bass look into the mask of the divers and often one meets sea ravens in different colors.
Diving in Cape Breton
An unforgettable experience!
Forest Cove
This sheltered dive site is an ideal area for beginners and experienced divers.
On the flat sandy ground you can often find nail rays, moon snails and monkfish.
Large lobsters live in the shore area, hidden by the thick kelp growth.
The beautiful beach invites you to swim and sunbathe between the dives.
Crid Island
This dive site allows for land and boat dives.
One side of the island is densely covered with laminaria, in which all kinds of animals romp.
Large lobsters, rays and eels live here and with a little luck you can discover a delicate seahorse.
Especially for photographers and filmmakers a real “overwater treat”.
Cerberus Rock
At a distance of about 400 meters from the stern, lies the bow of the Arrow.
Both imposing anchors are still in their place.
The dimensions of the former tanker are impressive, especially when looking at a clear view.
The nearby Cerberus Rock was doomed by the ship at the time.
