View Full Version : What's your favourite St. Lawrence Wreck?
taz22 December 10th, 2002, 06:37 PM Whether it is the vis or the view. I am seeking everyone's vote on which wreck in the St. Lawrence is their fav. My fav has to be the Keystorm! What's your's?? :confused: sparky30 December 10th, 2002, 06:40 PM How about the Gaskin? Its not too deep, p[retty easy.. nice night dive.. and you don't have to clear customs.. I've only done the Keysotrm once and bad weather.. I'm coming back this year for a second opinion. :) taz22 December 10th, 2002, 06:53 PM sparky30 once bubbled... How about the Gaskin? The Gaskin is a great night dive I would agree. Speaking of the Gaskin, I witnessed two weekends ago a group from Ottawa doing a Nav shore dive from infront of the Rowing Club to the Gaskin. They had tried the same two weeks before that but didn't make it, so I guess they thought they'd try again. Two in the group were in wetsuits ( water temp 34F ) and when they got out, I figured one of them was on the verge of death. It is amazing what people will do. :diver: wetman December 10th, 2002, 06:56 PM I've been liking the Daryaw lately. Seems like lots to explore there, but not until its warm again! steve sparky30 December 10th, 2002, 07:51 PM I heard there is a wreck that is covered in oil (or some other sticky black substance) and that newbies with less than perfect bouancy control end up getting covered int the stuff... Any idea which wreck it might be.. I'd like to find out more. So far I've done the Gaskin, Lillie Parson, Kinghorn, and Keystorm... Can't wait to try some of the others. sparky30 December 10th, 2002, 07:55 PM taz22 once bubbled...

Even in my DUI with nice warm weezle undoies I wouldn't want to make that swim...OK.. I admit it.. I am lazy and I don't like long surface or underwater swims just for the sake of swimming. Its only a means to an end.. (Like finding the wreck and exploring it). I am still trying to figure out why some people get all excited about nav dives...Now navigating through a dark family room during a power outage to find the flashlight without stubbing your toe is a real skill :) WreckWriter December 10th, 2002, 08:07 PM not having dived any St. Lawrence wrecks I'm really not qualified to post in this thread but I sure would love to do the Empress of Ireland someday. I'm surprized nobody has mentioned her. Tom squidguy December 10th, 2002, 08:10 PM "I heard there is a wreck that is covered in oil (or some other sticky black substance) and that newbies with less than perfect bouancy control end up getting covered int the stuff..." You are looking for the "America" a drilling or dredging? barge that flipped over in the shipping channel and is upside down with 2 or 3 support legs sticking up. The bottom is covered with thick black oil below the sediment layer. Lostsa tools onwhat used to be the topside. It is within view of a small castle? on a island off Mallorytown. Newbies may get back on the boat with oil on their fins and not know it.... The boat is tied up to a buoy outta the channel and you swim along the bottom and drop into the channel max depth around 70-80 feet. BTW a charge went off under the hull and you can see the wrinkle in the hull Jimmy B December 10th, 2002, 08:11 PM The Kinghorn before the Charter operators starting throwing anchors into her. Close enough to swim to if you have the experience.

I'm surprized nobody has mentioned her. Tom I recently saw a video on the Empress. If I ever decide to do some tech diving in the future, it would be one that I would certainly consider Marvintpa December 10th, 2002, 09:32 PM My favourite wreck in the river has to be the Jodrey, hands down. Think of it as the Keystorm on steroids. barb December 10th, 2002, 10:26 PM I like the Keystorm for its size and varied depth ...but ... if I don't have to traverse the Island - I really like the Lilly because of the drift afterward. I still haven't dove the Jodrey and would really like to. It's nice to still have "new" sites to visit - something to look forward to!! sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 12:04 AM I heard some amazing things about the Jodry.. Is she in recreational depths or for techies only? At the moment I am only a lowly Nitorx AOW diver... Maybe someday I'll venture into the tech realm.. Just not ready for it yet. sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 12:07 AM squidguy once bubbled...

BTW a charge went off under the hull and you can see the wrinkle in the hull Siund like a cool dive.. What's it like divig in the shipping channel with a freighter going overhead? Or do you only go when there is not ship traffic? I was on the Gaskin when a freighter passed nerby and that was pretty noticeable (And you could hear it very clearly).. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable right in the channel... What's it like? Bubble Boy December 11th, 2002, 02:21 AM The Jodrey is not a dive for an AOW diver (your tables won't go that deep....LOL) Taz22 why did you not tell the guys about the line that runs out to the Gaskin? The America should be treated as an overhead environment as you are in the shipping channel....A direct ascent to the surface is not an option with a freighter or a poker run going over you. DivingGal December 11th, 2002, 07:44 AM Lilly, Gaskin, Marsh, Keystorm Kingshorn, Davie, Daryaw, Comet and the list goes on.... I guess, it's the wreck I'm diving at the time. :D Here's three threads I start a while back with some stats on dive sites (including wrecks) As I pulled the data off the Internet, some facts may be (say it ain't so) incorrect. The Jodrey is considered to be beyond normal the recreational range, and I "think" it's been closed by the USA Coast Guard. Misc sites (http://www.scubaboard.com/t9655/s.html) Upper St Lawrence (http://www.scubaboard.com/t9651/s.html) Lake Ontario (http://www.scubaboard.com/t9652/s.html) taz22 December 11th, 2002, 07:58 AM Bubble Boy once bubbled... T Taz22 why did you not tell the guys about the line that runs out to the Gaskin? They were doing a Nav dive as part of a course, I figured that if the instructor wanted them to use the line, he would have told them bout it. taz22 December 11th, 2002, 08:01 AM barb once bubbled... It's nice to still have "new" sites to visit - something to look forward to!! Sounds like the new wreck drift dive on the Mason should be a fun one. Considering it is on the back side between two islands the current should be pretty amazing in that area. barb December 11th, 2002, 11:54 AM Taz, I don't know this wreck - Mason. Can you access it from shore or is it a boat dive? I like the sound of a really fast drift!! I'm really anxious for spring to come so I can check this out!! Thanks :) Butch103 December 11th, 2002, 02:28 PM ........but it could happen this summer.......I hope to do more wreck diving than this past year............:boom: bottom_sucker December 11th, 2002, 02:38 PM So far, my favourite is the "Davie". Seeing the bow emerge from the darkness below on my first wreck dive was amazing! Hope to take the whole family there some time, we'll likely start with the "Wolfe Islander" to warm up though. :D taz22 December 11th, 2002, 04:09 PM barb once bubbled... Taz, I don't know this wreck - Mason. Can you access it from shore or is it a boat dive? I like the sound of a really fast drift!! I'm really anxious for spring to come so I can check this out!! Thanks :) Barb, "The Mason" is a barge and it is located to the south west of Mc Nair Island east of Brockville. Approx 600m fom the Gaskin but on the south side of the channel. You drift between McNair and it's sister island over the wreck. This would be a boat dive, no idea if/when it will be marked as of yet, the site was only made public a month ago. Cheers. sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 04:20 PM barb once bubbled... Taz, I don't know this wreck - Mason. Can you access it from shore or is it a boat dive? I like the sound of a really fast drift!! I'm really anxious for spring to come so I can check this out!! Thanks :) If you like a fast drift dive you should try the upper Niagara River. The entry for the fastest part is upstream from the Peace Bridge.. Someone mentioned 10-12 knots :) I haven't done this one myself.. But I heard it faboulous.. Right after the Peace bridge is Thompson's hole.. the river deepens to 65 feet...and the current slack off a little (but not much). I've done this one as a night dive.. Its like riding a roller coaster in the dark. :) Bring a compas because there are back eddies that take you back upstream.. Its fun.. At least with a compass you can tell if you are going in the right direction. Wooohooo sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 04:23 PM bottom_sucker once bubbled... So far, my favourite is the "Davie". Seeing the bow emerge from the darkness below on my first wreck dive was amazing! Hope to take the whole family there some time, we'll likely start with the "Wolfe Islander" to warm up though. :D I really like the Wolf Islander.. Its the longest dive in my logbook. 57 minutes.. and I still had air left :) but I didn't want my computer to kick into deco mode.. LOL No matter how often I dive the WI I alwasy find something new to see. BEM December 11th, 2002, 04:24 PM Haven't seen many wrecks, but I really liked the Eastcliffe Hall. Some info: The wreck of the Eastcliffe Hall is located approximately 3/4 mile off Crysler Marina, in front of Upper Canada Village, and is only accessible by boat. This 3335 ton and 343 ft steel freighter lies upright in approximately 70 ft depth. The deck is at about 40 ft depth and remains spectacular. The cargo holds offer protection from the current and are an easy penetration around the 50 ft mark. At 4 a.m. on July 14th, 1970, with a cargo of "pig iron", the Eastcliffe Hall struck a shoal and sank within minutes with 9 loss and 12 survivors recovered from the masts and hatch covers that saved them. Life boats were not able to be lowered due to the list and quickness of the sinking vessel. Capt Albert Groulx and his 16 year old son were among the lost crew. The forward superstructure (upstream) has been dynamited back into the forward hold to clear the site as a navigational hazard. Though the surface current is quick, it becomes less on the wreck deck and the open holds provide additional shielding from the current. Normally, visibility is good and with your visit to the holds you will see the pilothouse, masts, living quarters as well as iron ingots that remain from the original cargo. To observe this wreck, we recommend a lamp because several parts are hidden from natural light. A strong current makes the descent a little difficult, but once on the site, it is comfortable. Precautions need to be taken because several metal pieces are lying around since the blasting. The seaway being close, merchant ships and pleasure boats create heavy traffic near the wreck. Like all the other wrecks in Ontario, the Eastcliff Hall is a property of the province, and it is strictly forbidden to remove any object. One of the top ten dives in the St-Lawrence River. sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 04:25 PM I find it amazing that new wrecks are still being discovered. Especially if you consider that some of them are in heavily dived areas.. Some new stuff pop's up right in front of someone's doorstep. Pretty cool. Sidescan sonar's for everyone :) canuckdiver December 11th, 2002, 04:28 PM I don't know if it qualifies as a st lawrence wreck, but my favourite has to be the "olive branch" but the wolfe islander is right up there too! taz22 December 11th, 2002, 04:31 PM sparky30 once bubbled...

Wooohooo Sparky...this dive is a great dive, did it 3 years ago when I use to live in St Kitts while working for the Grape and Wines Festival. When you get a chance you should go for it. Cheers, Taz. barb December 11th, 2002, 04:38 PM sparky30 once bubbled... If you like a fast drift dive you should try the upper Niagara River. . Wooohooo I failed Geography in school so please reassure me that this Niagara River ISN'T the same river that goes over the Falls? If it is .. then that certainly would be a ripping current leading to a dark hole (it's called death)!! :D barb December 11th, 2002, 04:50 PM Taz, Thanks for the info. on The Mason. Hopefully it will be marked this spring. Is it in decent condition? Is it very large? tinman December 11th, 2002, 04:55 PM Something for everyone. Little current, great viz, Newbie-Teck, fish and a Castle with Guys that carry guns for the kids! A Nav dive to the Gaskin sounds like fun but in a drysuit packing extra gas.... Taz: I've done the drift dive below the Peace Bridge from Ivy Lea Camp grounds and you can get deep and moving fast in a hurry. The eddys will bring you almost all the way back to your entry point but that would be a little too exciting a night dive for me...going in circles in the dark I reserve for above water sports. taz22 December 11th, 2002, 05:02 PM barb once bubbled... Taz, Thanks for the info. on The Mason. Hopefully it will be marked this spring. Is it in decent condition? Is it very large? I do hope that it will be marked, better to be marked then having everyone dopping anchors and damaging it. Whether it will be marked is another story. I understand that SOS got funding for another 50 marks, I'll have to get to the next 1000 Island SOS chapter meeting to see what is up. In regards to condition, I hear it is in good condition, since it is close to the Muskie, you'll find that water conditions will probably be the same except for the current. As more info becomes known, I'll certainly post for the benefit of every fellow dive on this board. I might even take my own boat out for a tour of it, since I grew up here and know the river ( been here most of my life ). Will just have to make sure that I anchor properly. barb December 11th, 2002, 05:11 PM Maybe you could bring some of your buddies from Scubaboard along just to make sure you place that anchor correctly ... and maybe make sure the wreck is still there. ;) taz22 December 11th, 2002, 05:35 PM barb once bubbled... Maybe you could bring some of your buddies from Scubaboard along just to make sure you place that anchor correctly ... and maybe make sure the wreck is still there. ;) Ok I'll book you a spot, there's room for the driver ( and gear )and 4 passengers and gear so we need 3 more!! BTW, my boat is a 23ft Baja with a 454 Merc sterndrive, it can easily do 60 mph, so after the Mason we can take a quick trip to the Keystorm or failing that the Dayraw is a stones throw from my cottage so we could do a nice shore dive. :snorkel: canuckdiver December 11th, 2002, 05:55 PM count me in! just let me know when! I'll return the favour and save you a spot anytime you want to dive the picton area with us! taz22 December 11th, 2002, 06:02 PM canuckdiver once bubbled... count me in! just let me know when! I'll return the favour and save you a spot anytime you want to dive the picton area with us! The boat and lift usually go in on the first weekedn in May, depending on my uncle letting me use his 4 x 4 and getting the keys to his barn. I have reserved your spot and will keep you posted as spring gets closer. barb December 11th, 2002, 06:07 PM Taz, I know your teasing me but that's o.k. I was teasing you. However, I would truly like to visit a new wreck on the river and all the old ones also and maybe just visit the river for a nice drift dive. Unfortunately, spring is a long time away ;-0 but I am getting a drysuit soon:) Barb taz22 December 11th, 2002, 06:29 PM barb once bubbled... Taz, I know your teasing me but that's o.k. Taz teasing?? Mmmm....not really, I truly do have a cottage on the river and the boat. I'm still saving your spot, your not getting outta this that easy! :D taz22 December 11th, 2002, 06:34 PM barb once bubbled... but I am getting a drysuit soon:) Barb btw, good luck with your drysuit. Taz is hoping his wife and/or kiddies and/or Santa gets him that one he has been drooling over for the past month. My local LDS has a special on a set of twins a 7mm and a 3mm ( 2 drysuits for $1100.00 ). WooHoo...come on Christmas!!!!!! :madelf: canuckdiver December 11th, 2002, 06:37 PM cool! =-) barb December 11th, 2002, 06:43 PM Now Taz, you know there's no such thing as Santa and kids just take, take, take, so you better be very good to your wife.;) taz22 December 11th, 2002, 06:45 PM barb once bubbled... Now Taz, you know there's no such thing as Santa NO SANTA!! Waaannnnn.....sniff........sniff.........sniff.... ..;-0 ;-0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wifey is getting taken to the Rolling Stones concert in Montreal ( Floor Seats I might add ). Santa being very good to her :-) barb December 11th, 2002, 07:34 PM you have nothing to worry about - the suits in the bag and under the tree:) I must ask you why would you want 2 drysuits? It does sound like a good deal you've got there but how long have the suits been hanging in the window and more important ...who wore them last:out: taz22 December 11th, 2002, 07:46 PM barb once bubbled... It does sound like a good deal you've got there but how long have the suits been hanging in the window and more important ...who wore them last:out: The reason is simple, it is a manufacturers ( Whites ) special from the DEMA show that my LDS attended and was given/ I think they have already sold about 20 people so far. If santa gets to the store and checks my list, he'll get this special and both will be brand-spanking new. Woo Hoo :D sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 08:58 PM barb once bubbled...

If it is .. then that certainly would be a ripping current leading to a dark hole (it's called death)!! :D You ar correct.. Its the same river that goes over the Falls.. You can go and dive the upper river (above the falls) or the lower river (below the falls). They are all drift dives and range from mild to wild.. I had one so slow I ended up kicking most of the way... Its several miles upstream form the Falls... So there is no way you cold accidentally get that far. Even with double tanks and stage bottles you'd run out of air before you get even close :) DivingGal December 11th, 2002, 09:02 PM don't forget my spot Taz.... if you need help co-ordinating, just give a shout sparky30 December 11th, 2002, 09:03 PM I can't type...

That's 3 now, only 1 spot left, or if there is a couple, taz will make room for 2, but please be kind to the boat, fiberglass and tonnes of scuba gear don't match well together. Mind you, can't be any worse than my wife wearing highheel shoes one day and wondering why she put a whole in the boat seat! Geez, land lovers!!! merry christmas tinman December 12th, 2002, 08:35 AM Taz: Sounds like fun. My long hose is your long hose...provided you have the space. April seems soooo long away.

As promised: http://www.scubaboard.com/t19104/s.html ScubaQ December 16th, 2002, 12:17 PM I qould have to say the Daryaw is my favourate wreck so far. There is a nice rippin current to make you work, and you can get inside the sucker and she'll give you a run for your money while penitrating her. The Keystrorm is nice, but You can easily bored with her after about 4 dives, but she is still one of those must do wrecks when I get there. So I say the Daryaw and the Keystorm, two very nice steel vessels with different orientations to make the dive a bit more challenging. Please remember people, dive within the limits of your train and experience. ScubaQ Coyote December 28th, 2002, 10:58 AM The only wreck I've done on the St Lawrence is the Conestoga, but in Lake Ontario I've done the Comet, Aloha, Wolfe Islander II. The Wolfe Islander was my favourite taz22 December 28th, 2002, 12:44 PM The Connie is ok, but sometimes the vis can really suck. The Wolfe Islander is pretty cool, love the motor-cycle they placed on her. :D Coyote December 28th, 2002, 02:20 PM I liked the golf trophy under the bridge. When you look in the doors it looks like an aquarium with all the fish. HappyDiversDen January 8th, 2003, 02:53 PM For us, it's the drift off the Lily, hands down. If you can find an experienced charter operator who can chase, we backroll into the current just up from the island and descend either down the chain, or directly onto the Lily ... check air 'n get ourselves together on the bow, then go down to 120 ffw immediately to get through the two 80 foot eddies right above the bow (they'll just waste yer air finning through them), then multi-level up. When the current's up, it can rip, although the current's been down over the last three years. Last year was better though, more like it was 5 years ago. sparky30 January 8th, 2003, 08:18 PM Sounds like a neat way to dive the Lilly.. I've only ever dove her with a short entry.. going down the chain.. Drifted off and up and back in the leeward side of the island.. I would have liked to go deep like you , but out dive master told us horror stories of ripping down currents, deep (beyond 130ft) floors and sea monsters.. You get the idea.. So we all stayed nicely together on the Lilly.,, I like a fast drift dive.. we usually hit the upper Niagara River just around the Peace Bridge.. current can be 8 knots and up.. Its really moving :) Woohoo... Depth can go down to 65ft in one spoot, but most of it is really shallow.. I did that dive as a night dive and the old cars and shopping carts really come up fast out of the darkness :) Its a riot.. ninja January 8th, 2003, 08:49 PM She is a fine vessel and gets my thumbs up you will only want to do this on MIX.. 18/40 works good 145 at the crows nest the rest is in 175 to 220.

I was on it in late September, nothing but a pile of boards. If you want to see a great new wreck near cross over island as to be taken to the wreck between cross over and chippewa point. Steel barge, twim brass props, three cargo holds, in 125' of water, south side of shipping channel, so far no name or history given to the site. Found late August by local drift divers.

The wreck is not that interesting but getting down to it when the current is ripp'in is the bomb, Horizontal rock climbing!! Can't get enough of the wreck!! a line from surface would wreck this dive.
