Here is the imaged summary of a wonderful weekend spent to the condos Natakam in Essipit contiguous to the village of Escoumins located on the bank of the St-Lawrence River, 600 km east of Montreal. The weather was perfect; something not to be taken for granted when visiting that area.
The visibility was, at best at 2 meters on Friday and then increased to 5 meters by Sunday. On the other hand, the waters temperature went from 3 to 4 degrees to just above the freezing point during the same interval.
During this time we could enjoy seeing walls and drop-offs covered with anemones, scarlet psoluses, and sea cucumbers.
I had not dived in this salty section of the St-Lawrence River since a few years and had a bit forgotten its incredible beauty.
We are privileged to have such a marvellous dive site located just a few hours away form our Montreal homes.
Diving conditions are not always the easiest but the rewards make the effort worth it.
