Freshwater Scuba Diving
The 1000 Islands boasts the world's best Fresh Water Diving. Due to an influx of Zebra Mussels, the visibility for divers now is up to 70 feet and has caused a sensation through out the dive industry. Thanks to the fresh cold water of the St. Lawrence River there are over 200 shipwrecks preserved that date back to the War of 1812, leaving us exciting time capsules to explore.
UNDERWATER MOUNTAINS
Not only can you uncover the mysterious history of lost ships in the 1000 Islands, but also experience the amazing marine life that live amongst billion year old underwater mountains left to us from before the flood of the ice age. Divers come from all over the world to dive into our underwater seascapes with granite walls that plunge from hundreds of feet deep to a few feet of shoals.
