Best for intermediate divers, shore entry, moderate current.
Soulo is a wreck and reef site located on the Montreal South Shore in the St. Lawrence River. This shore entry dive features a moderate current that can shift with river flow, requiring careful buoyancy control and positional awareness. The site is characterised by cold water conditions, making a drysuit or thick wetsuit essential for comfort. Divers should remain cautious of boat traffic and potential entanglement hazards around the wreck structure. Due to the enclosed nature of the wreck, entry into overhead environments is restricted to those with specific training. The habitat supports various temperate freshwater fish and invertebrates typical of the region.
