This is the tanker with props on its side in 160ft of water etc ... was in 45-50 water and wooden, what the story on it this week JB You are really gonna have to be a little more explicit. WTH are you talking about? Tom R June 7th, 2003, 05:14 AM Is this the same one near Rockport? They found last year or the one they claimed they found near Mallorytown. Tom CincyBengalsFan June 7th, 2003, 07:17 AM Does it need to be lifted or what? Can you give us a little more info. taz22 June 7th, 2003, 08:16 AM Jimmy B once bubbled... I just heard that the supposed barge in the river. This is the tanker with props on its side in 160ft of water etc ... was in 45-50 water and wooden, what the story on it this week JB The only supposed barge I know of from last year in the St. Lawrence was the one they are calling the "mason" and it is located just off of Mc Nair Island on the south side of the channel about 1/2 mile east of the "Gaskin" and about 1/8 of a mile southwest of the "Muskie". This one is a wood barge, not props here. Not a bad dive, not a lot to see but it is something different if you are wrecked out. Tom R June 7th, 2003, 10:35 AM Wrecked out, You haven't dove Kingston in a while if your wrecked out. May even go find something new this afternoon. Tom:D bottles June 8th, 2003, 10:39 PM Tom - Kingston Scuba Tourism have you on the payroll? I have dove kingston many times, not my favourite dive due to the thermoclines, nice dives, but come on your new wrecks are not for the average diver? Not everyone wants to be GUE or DIR, body bag packing divers as shown in the video. We got the point about a year ago. You like Kingston and think it is better than Brockville, Picton, Port Dover, Muskoka, etc... Most perfer Brockville with no thermoclines - new wrecks would be nice and I am sure there are some still to be found if we could get someone with a sidecan down there. Too much history and wierd shoals to not have more... Just a word; relax - we know Kingston is there.... Tom R June 9th, 2003, 05:33 AM Kingston operators have located/relocated at least 10 new wrecks in the last year alone, no-one is diving on them, but us ;). There is at least 4 new wrecks in the Brockville area, A barge near the gaskin, a barge near the Bridge, a schooner near the Keystorm and apparently an unidentified aircraft also near the bridge. Some people are diving these wrecks, but no charters to them? Whats with that? Picton has opened up several new wrecks in the last year or two also. Which can be accessed from Kingston BTW, and with any luck they will also open up 2 new ones soon. The Northwest ( the bow end of the Northwind's sister ship) and a schooner in 160ft of water. Port Dover is also excellent and they have opened up at least 7 new wrecks in the last 2 years also. Muskoka has even opened up a new wreck this year in Lake Simcoe. Show some of the Brockville stuff for all us to enjoy. This is why most of us come here to do learn about diving. Jimmy B June 9th, 2003, 08:06 AM bottles once bubbled... Not everyone wants to be GUE or DIR, body bag packing divers as shown in the video. And we don't want everyone either, there is a standard and sounds like you didn't achieve it. But don't worry a little hard work some dedication and a change of attitude you may make the cut. JB Doppler June 9th, 2003, 08:21 AM Let's not get into a DIR vs Personal Preference slugfest here guys... Stop Hi-jacking the thread... I still haven't got a clue what you were orginally asking about. Anyone care to clear this up? Doppler (Hogathian... in-case you were wondering) SneakyB'tard June 9th, 2003, 09:10 AM Thanks Doppler, I was reading this thread and wondering the same thing. I don't care what school of diving one prefers or graduates from, as long as they all enjoy the SPORT. It's not a competition. Jimmy B June 9th, 2003, 12:32 PM The thread was about a possible new dive site in the St. Lawrence river. Taz gave some advice made a comment about being wrecked out. (like that could ever happen), Tom R said if your wrecked out Kingston has some new wrecks. Bottles got on a soap box, took a snipe at him. I returned the sniped. I'm still looking for the information on the barge in the River as I would like to dive something new in Brockville. So to get the thread going again. What's the story on the new wreck in the river. JB taz22 June 9th, 2003, 05:04 PM Step by step instructions on how to find this wreck: 1) Locate Mc Nair Island on your boating charters - hint - half mile east of the Gaskin on the south side of the shipping channel 2) It is best to drift into the dive, so your want to anchor about 200m off of Mc nair Island (southside not channel side) , this should put you closer to Mc Nair's sister island to the south. Drift southeast ward towards the back of the sister island ( similar to exit for the Lillie ) and you will come upon the wreck of the northeast corner (back) of the island. Hope this helps,. Even better, this coming weekend I will endeavour to get the GPS for all. Check out the thread discussing this wreck late last fall: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=190641#post190641 knives June 9th, 2003, 07:37 PM Bottles, what the heck are you talking about? GUE, DIR has nothing to do with diving the awesome wrecks in Kingston. Just cause Tom R may dive a certain style ,doesn't mean we all have to in order to enjoy the wrecks.And thank goodness there are people out there looking for more , I can not get enough of the wrecks !!! the more the better, they are fascinating . Thanks TomR... So about this barge?...... bottles once bubbled... Tom - Kingston Scuba Tourism have you on the payroll? I have dove kingston many times, not my favourite dive due to the thermoclines, nice dives, but come on your new wrecks are not for the average diver? Not everyone wants to be GUE or DIR, body bag packing divers as shown in the video. simcoediver June 11th, 2003, 11:30 AM This is for Tom R. Can you tell me any more about your reference to new wrecks in Simcoe and Muskoka? This is news to me . Tom R June 12th, 2003, 02:26 PM I was just told this weekend by a customer about the new wreck out of Barrie, I would enquire with the local dive store for more details. Then post them here if you can get the info. I know that the Marpolosa SP? was found a couple of years ago. Tom
