This is a shallow, almost no current dive. We simply travel around an old lock. There can be some pike or carp or other interesting fish depending on the time of year. It is recommended to use a dive float as their can be some boat traffic. You will also want to have a light.
The image below shows the parking area in blue or you can park along the side of the road. The red line shows the general dive plan. There are six orange buoys which are tied down by chain, which can be seen underwater.

This is a great dive spot for basic divers. There is a line from the shore to the wreck. Don’t forget to bring flashlights to this site!

Lock 28 to Connie drift

This is a great short drift dive starting at the “Wreck Wee Hawk”. We then swim to the entrance of Lock 28 and then drift downstream and eventually cross into the main channel and end up on the Conestoga (Connie), where you can loop around. We often also dive back to near the entrance location.
In the bottom left of the image below, you can see the “Wreck Wee Hawk”.

The inner area has been populated with wonderful life-sized statues. Click on the image below to see the SOS PDF on this site.

This is a good dive spot for basic and advanced divers as it is a steep wall. There is also a small wreck. Divers must stay close to the west wall to avoid boat traffic.
There is a $10 free to be paid at the bar of the Cornwall’s Pub.

We dive from the beech area just to the north of the Boat House hotel / restaurant and motel. You can park in the beach parking lot area. See the image for the RV (beach) area.

Ivy Lea Campground
2026-09-06 09:30 - 13:00 | Ivy Lea Campground, 649 - 1000 Islands Parkway, Lansdowne, Ontario, Canada
This is a great dive location for several reasons. The vis can be better than other shore dive areas, there is lots of depth along the wall if desired and the wall in interesting to see. There are two dive locations. The 1st and most popular is to enter beside the beach area. There is no current in this cove to speak of so it makes for a great entry area. The 2nd entry area is at the south-west end of the park. Divers can then drift to the beach area. The map below shows the drift start and end and shows the location of a small wreck at 80 ft. Note that in 2023 the park attendants were not allowing people to do the second dive plan.

Both areas are indicated on the satellite image at the top of this page.
Attached is the Ivy Lea Campground map: 2023-Ivy-Lea
You can unload your gear near the diver area but then must move your car to the “P” parking area. Getting there early will improve your chances of getting a spot
Cost: there is a fee of about $20 per diver. Each diver needs to complete a form at the Visitor Centre and pay the fee when arriving.

Challies Trout Pond (Quarry)
2026-09-10 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-10-04 10:00 - 12:00 | Challies Trout Pond, 13744 County Rd 18, Ingleside, Ontario, K0C 1M0, Canada
The Challies Trout Pond is a shallow quarry ranging from 20 to 30ft (7 to 10m) in depth that is often used as a diver training area. There is no current but there can be a thermocline. The pond is stocked with trout and has some bass.
There are two ways to enter the water. On the right of the parking area there is a shallow shelf which divers can step onto and then sit down do don fins, then slip off the ledge into about 20’ of water. To the North of the parking area there is a shallow sloping area where divers can make a walking entry. Depending on divers’ air supply and dive length desired, divers can swim across the pond and back or swim around the perimeter.

Lock 23
2026-09-12 10:00 - 12:30 | Lock 23, 1 Lakeshore Dr., Morrisburg, Ontario, Canada
This is a very large dive site with lots to see. The current can be strong so only divers comfortable with current should participate. Here is a detailed guide about the lock: https://morrisburgdivesites.com/2020/06/15/exit-plan-getting-to-the-beach/
This map shows the public dock and the beach where we come out of the water. Sometimes we pre-position cars at the exit point, but some folks prefer to just walk back to the entry location.

Daryaw and a TBD dive
2026-09-20 09:00 - 14:00 | St Lawrence Park, Brockville, 525 King Street West, Brockville, Ontario, Canada
The Henry C. Daryaw is a very interesting wreck situated upside-down in fairly high current and is a favourite of many divers. It is an advanced dive because of the depth and current. Eels can usually be seen in the ships holds.
The second dive will be determined as we get closer to the dive date. Options include a second dive on the Daryaw, or a drift off it, or the Lilly drift or Gaskin.

Morrison's Quarry
2026-10-10 10:00 - 13:00 | Morrison’s Quarry, 1780 Route 105, Chelsea, Quebec, Canada
This popular site has many attractions including a plane and other items of interest. The water is typically very cold though at any depth so a two layer wetsuit is required with a hood and gloves.
A good reference site is: https://www.neptune-scuba.info/ca/qc/carriere-morrison-en.html
The fee is $20 for entry (cash) to be paid to the quarry owners and a valid FQAS card is required. An FQAS card can be acquired at local dive shops but may require a course to acquire depending on the shop. In fall 2021, Scuba Finatics ( https://scubafinatics.ca/) seemed to be the best source for these cards. Plan well in advance if you need a new or updated FQAS card.
The following image indicates the artifacts to dive.

Lock 21
2026-10-18 10:00 - 13:00 | Lock 21, Macdonell Island, South Stormont, Ontario, Canada
Lock 21 is a fairly high current dive so should only be done by advanced divers who are comfortable with higher current dives. It is located off the south-western end of Macdonell Island near Long Sault.
Web information sources:

SOS provides a great description and sketch of the lock: https://saveontarioshipwrecks.ca/diverguides/lock-21/

New York Times article: https://davidgibbins.com/journal/2016/4/8/diving-lock-21-a-submerged-victorian-canal-lock-on-the-st-lawrence-river-canada

Location: Lock 21 is located off the south-western end of Macdonell Island. From highway 401, take exit 778 toward Long Sault. Take the South direction on Moulinette Road up to Highway 2 (also known as King’s Highway). Continue heading South direction on Moulinette Road crossing Highway 2 toward Long Sault Parkway. Follow the route toward McDonell Island (2nd island)stop at the beech are of the 1st Island, Mille Roches Island to purchase a $10 dive pass, then continue to McDonell Island. After driving half way across McDonell Island, take the 2nd gravel road to the left. It will go only for about 40 meters then turn right to travel toward the West direction. It will end in about 60 meters. There is a brown pavilion where information is available about the dive site and an historic tour relating the story of the Lost Villages after the construction of the St.Lawrence Seaway. The Lock is located on the South side of the island on the St.Lawrence lake (not the St.Lawrence River which is located on the other side of the islands on the American side of the border). The GPS location is: 44°59’55.0″N 74°53’57.4″W (44.998611, -74.899270)
If you happen to drive along the Long Sault series of islands from the west end, stop at the 1st island, McLaren Island camping area and purchase the $10 diving pass from the small shop by the parking lot, then carry on to McDonell Island.

Connie
2026-11-07 10:00 - 11:30 | Connie (Conestoga), Legion Way, Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, Ontario, Canada
The Conestoga (Connie) is a great shore dive wreck. Since the water will be colder at this time of year we will keep it simple and skip the drift to the Connie. This will allow any diver to end their dive quickly if they get cold.
