These dive sites are in Alexandria Bay, NY, which is easily accessible and very touristic.  The Islander wreck starts shallow and is in low current so is suitable for Basic or Advanced divers.

Just east of the wreck location is a scuba park, similar in a sense to the Centeen, Prescott Scuba park concepts.  There are two suspended training platforms around 30 ft, with the bottom under them at 60-70 ft.  It is accessible from the Bonnie Castle Resort. The cost is $20 USD as of 2023. There’s lots of parking and some benches similar to Centeen to gear up.

We will dive on the Islander in the morning, have lunch in town, then dive in the Bonnie Castle Resort dive site after lunch.

I recommend we have lunch at “Riley’s by the River” (http://rileysbytheriver.com/).

Don’t forget to bring your passport and cash for the toll bridge!
