Comments St Lawrence River. Decent but somewhat primative boat (but it did have a head). Great, intact wrecks with good viz. Current was sometimes a hinderance, sometimes a help, sometimes a great joy. Operator is a very nice lady. Stayed at a good motel about 5 miles from shop in Brockville ON. Quaint town. Good (and bad) restaurants available. Price per diver (air; boat; motel (includes breakfast) and lunch) quite reasonable. A great trip for North East divers who want to dive wet (so long as boat does not go into Lake Ontario). This was 4th trip to area, second with operator. Will do again. Also dove Lake Ontario on another trip; dry suit only but great diving.
