At the north-eastern end of Cape Breton Island rests the wreck of the “Montara”. A former cargo ship, now turned into a wonderful artificial reef rests in an upright position just off shore in 20m / 66 feet of water. This wreck is accessible by boat or directly from the shore line and is very easy to dive.

This first time I dove the wreck, was August 2006 - the water was a tropical 70F and I got to wear my 3mm suit - a heavenly treat on a sunny day - and very unexpected in Atlantic Canada!!!
