Shore Dives Adjacent to the Port of Goderich

If you were there Sunday the dive flag was me. Visibility was minimal though so we didn't find the boneyard (first time I had to hold hands with my buddy so we didn't loose each other).

Did you get any temperature readings out there?

We hit 77 degress just off the arch of Rotary beach. Very nice warm water. Partner wore a dry suit and was sweating.

Found maybe 4 ship wrecks. Boneyard is a great name they gave this place. Stumbled upon wreck after wreck.

5 feet of vis max. Lots of fish.

Here's a frame the video we captured of the Goderich Boneyard.

If you swim out from the beach by the Rotary Arch you will be in the area. It is about 200m from shore.

Somthing like in this area..
Google Maps

Thanks again, the wrecks were all over this exact area!

Sorry for reserecting an aging thread but I have a couple questions related to this topic.
I was raised in Goderich and moved away 25 years ago when I was 27. Never had any idea, at the time, that pepole may be scuba diving the waters so close to beaches I basically 'lived' at every summer.

A buddy and I are going to try this dive, if the weather and waves cooperate.
Is the location of the dropped Google map pin (a previous post) really very close to the wrecks. It seems to be perpendicular to shore between St. Christopher's Beach and Rotary Beach.

Is there a known cylinder filling location in or near Goderich?

Thanks
Paul

The closest place to get fills would be Port Elgin at Groundhog Divers. I would call ahead though and confirm they are open (even if their website says they should be open).
