About this site
Les Escoumins sits on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River estuary in Quebec's Côte-Nord region, an area long known for cold-water diving where fresh and marine influences meet. Crique Ouest refers to a specific cove along that shoreline, accessed as a shore dive near the village of Les Escoumins. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 40 metres and is rated an advanced dive, reflecting the depth and the cold, current-influenced conditions typical of the estuary.
