The Ocean Quest Lodge is a 4 star establishment that has 4 rooms, which range from twin to honeymoon suite. There is also a full family suite that sleeps up to 4 people. All have private bathrooms, high speed internet and TV. There is a communal living room where the finds of the day can be traded, as well as a kitchen, BBQ and bar area. The on site sauna makes this a modern choice for modern divers. Or pull up a chair and watch the sun set behind Bell Island from the comfort of the lodge deck.
Oxygene Newfoundland dives whatever the weather. A hardy bunch that can deal with a full range of recreational and technical divers, they know how to bring out the best of their cold water environment. Scuba Travel organises a series of expeditions over the summer diving season when the days are warm and long. Flights are with Air Canada to St Johns via Halifax. The heart of each trip is the wrecks - unmissable and splendid dives again and again - but also adds that little something extra, be that whales or icebergs. A longer expedition explores the Labrador coast and dives this diverse and impressive area. There is something for everyone at Oxygene Newfoundland, including non divers so dont miss a single breath. Book your spot today and see this extraordinary destination for yourself.

Hi Caroline, Just wanted to drop you a big thank you for all your advice and help prior to our recent trip. As you said the wrecks are world class diving and the people are so helpful and friendly it took a bit to get used to it. We met lots of people there who I am in contact with who have a shared interest in our part of the country and of course diving. And Rick and Debbie are in a class of their own as hosts. I will probably be going again all being well so till next year. Thanks. Ray and Neil

In a list of the world's best kept dive secrets, Newfoundland and St Johns are in the top 3. If you just want a run of the mill diving holiday then this place is not for you! If you want meet the nicest people in the world and dive the most fun wrecks in cold water in a sheltered harbour, then head to Oxygene Newfoundland. But that's not all - go diving for giant scallops or snorkeling with whales (different types- minky and humpbacks) and dolphins. And when you get chance, St Johns downtown and screeching await. What a night out!Ps If you want to be warm under your drysuit then take noting but the Fourth Element Arctic undersuit. Oh and say hello to Bill the skipper. Thanks for a great holiday. Tim
