Gros Morne Dive Site (Deshaies)
16° 18.8′ N · 61° 48.2′ W · approximate
The dive under the Gros Morne headland at the north side of Deshaies bay, known for a swim-through tunnel where shafts of light make the classic photo.
Practical
Coordinate approx: placed about 170 m off the cliff foot west of the Gros Morne hill (OSM node 3035309152); the coastline at this latitude is at about -61.8023, so the point is in water. Exact buoy position not published - go with a Deshaies club (Note Bleue Plongee on the port) or Nautica Plongee. The site is a short dinghy ride from the Deshaies moorings but sits right on the approach to the bay, so watch for boat traffic and fly a diver-down flag. Exposed to northerly ground swell in winter.
