NASTC has certified public safety and rescue divers available to support your specific dive goals or expeditions. We can also fully support recreational, technical and film industry-related rebreather diving. We provide oxygen, air or normoxic trimix diluant and sorb for all manufactured rebreathers. We offer full face masks and diver-to-diver to surface untethered communications.
The waters around Puvirnituq offer a variety of diving options, including Freshwater Drift, Wall Diving and Salt Water Wall Diving.
The views from the dive boats include breathtaking landscapes of carved glacial mountains and valleys, unchanged in the past thousand years. Wildlife abounds beneath the water, including Beluga whales, Ringed and Harp seals, eels and Arctic char. The abundant bottom cover is magnificent and vibrant with hordes of sea urchins, starfish and shellfish. Night dives are magical under the clear open skies over Hudson Bay.
