Name: J.C.Morrison wreck
Description:Paddle wheel boat
Level: Beginner
Depth: 26-30'
Location: Barrie
Directions: Attached
Maps Attached

Very easy, relaxing shore dive. Not much left from the boat except ribs below the original water line, paddle wheel parts and some constructions. Everything covered with zebra mussels. There is a lot of silt on the bottom, so good buoyancy control and proper fin kicks are required. In winter this site is good for ice diving. In summer months it makes sense to have surface flotation device as there are many fishing boats around the wreck.

Location: Kingston

The following site contains veru thorough description of Kingston wrecks and, what is very important, the GPS coordinates of 24 wrecks. Few of them are accessible from the shore.

If you don't mind camping it is possible in Lake Ontario Park which is on King str.

Boat launch can be done in the same park or closeby in Portsmouth Olympic Harbour marina. Air fills can be done in the same marina.

This is a great idea my friend,
Once I get some dives under my belt, I hope to have some input into this thread. In the meantime I will take notes and try a couple out.

Directions.....Marmora is on Hwy #7 east of Peterborough (about 50 mins), Go north at the stoplights. Take first left at the bottom of the hill, straight thru the stop sign and turn right at bottom of the grade. The medical centre is on the right. (blue house like place). Park at the designated area. Enter the water of the "ramp". After you enter follow the water pipe about 1/2 way cross the river and head south. After a bit head west and the current will bring you back to your starting point.
