Christian Island Wrecks

[Scuba Duffer]

I tried a forum search for this topic but came up empty. My Wife and I will be boating in Georgian Bay at the end of the month and we want to dive the wrecks around Christian Island. Does anyone have a good reference for the area - either web or book based? GPS coordinates are always a big help.

Also, any other good dive locations we should head for in the area? We will be out for at least 2 weeks and will cover a lot of ground so everything from Tobermory to Killarny is game!!

There is a dive shop in Killinary, ask for numbers there. Pretty helpful guy. The northwind is in that area

There's a fair chance we may be heading over to the Christian Island area on the Sept long weekend. With a little luck I can get the Friday off too.
Chris Kohl's book has approx locations for the wrecks around Christian. I've also been searching for Lat/Long (GPS) but no luck so far.
If you might be in that area around the long weekend and interested in connecting (2 boats/more divers can search an area faster), post or PM me the name of your boat. Ours is a 26 foot sail boat called "Luff Affair" white hull, wide blue stripe at the hull deck join.

Excellent resource simcoediver! I had found the names of some wrecks, http://www.vaxxine.com/nda/divesites/pentang.html, but I was having a really hard time finding the particular locations.

Groundhog - would love to hook up but I'm not at all sure when we will hit the area. We will be out from August 24 - Sept 9 and we will be all over the bay. If you listen out on 16, I will try and call if we are around Christian on the long weekend. We are a 30ft Wellcraft Express, White with a blue stripe, named Bee Aye Aye.
