Avion Cessna 188 is a small agricultural aircraft wreck resting on a sandy bottom off the coast of Sainte-Anne. The site functions as an artificial reef, with the airframe sitting at depths reaching 24 metres. Divers can expect visibility between 20 and 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the structure. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for intermediate divers due to the potential for strong currents and the need to monitor depth carefully near the surrounding reef drop-offs. Boat traffic is present in the area, so the use of a surface marker buoy is essential throughout the dive.
