Le Mur Noir, or The Black Wall, is a dramatic cliff-side site located on the eastern side of Bonaventure Island. This vertical wall experience is defined by a distinct white quartz vein running through the rock face. Snorkellers can explore the remains of a 1900s steam-sail shipwreck resting at the site. Access is by boat, and the site is suited for intermediate snorkellers. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from -1C in late winter to 17C in August. Due to the variable conditions and vertical nature of the terrain, this site requires careful planning and appropriate thermal protection.
