Centeen Park Brockville - Canada's First Underwater Park

Moira · Jul 12, 2014

I just saw this on the OUC Facebook page. It looks like an underwater park has been built in Brockville for our enjoyment. I guess I have to make another trip back there before the summer is over! Has anyone checked this out yet?

How deep, temp., what are the currents like?

Moira · Jul 14, 2014

I haven't been to the park specifically, but temperatures in the St. Lawrence were quite warm. I was wearing a 7mm wetsuit and beanie, but I could have been wearing a 5mm just fine and I chill very easily. I want to say it was somewhere between 66F and 70F. I can't check my dive log right now though because I forgot to sync the info to my phone. As for the depths, I found a nice little map. I'm not sure where the statues are in relation to what's on the map, but maybe it's useful anyway.

If they put the statues where I think they did (haven't dove there since), you're looking at 30', probably about 68 degrees now, and current? What current?

Yep... What Oreo said. Not much current at 30'.

The sculptures were installed on July 11, 2014 by the Thousand Islands Chapter of Save Ontario Shipwrecks Save Ontario Shipwrecks https://www.facebook.com/groups/SOS1000Islands/. The sculpture park area is an easy shore dive, the maximum depth in the area is about 40 feet with very little current the present visibility is approximately 30 feet. There are five concrete sculptures with more planned for next year. The river temp is around 70F (21C) in the summer, for the current river temperature check the link from the US Coast Guard Composite Plot
