Today I went to see the submerged grist mill in Moulinette (near Cornwall, Ontario). It's fascinating to see what used to be a building sitting 70ft deep in the water!

There is supposed to be another mill near there, a Woolen mill. Does anyone know if it's worth the swim out there? Just getting to the grist mill is a pretty long swim from the beach at Lakeview Heights park.
There's also that old tunnel which used to be a road under the old canal, which is submerged now. It seems that they piled dirt over the openings before they flooded the area way back in 1902. I want to try digging the dirt away this summer to see in the old tunnel but it looks like a lot of work. Does anyone know how to dig underwater, I imagine it would be harder without a lot of extra weight to hold you down as you stick the shovel in?
