Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at St. Clair River
We have a fantastic shore current dive in the St. Clair River. The river connects Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair and ultimately Lake Erie. BONUS….Several shipwrecks are in the river and various artifacts can still be found. During Prohibition the river provided rum runners a means of transporting alcohol between Canada and the US. Bottles are still found to this day. It's a dive that will appeal to many divers.

The site is located at the end of the St. Clair river, in the North Channel, just before the split of the north channel, one heading northwest, the other southwest (the sny-bora). Just as the snybora splits, there will be a slow no wake buoy. Just beyond the slow no wake buoy, ripples will be noticed; this is the dive site. Anchor a boat on the river's edge, enter the water and descend at a 45 until you hit the bottom at about 28'. Then move forward until you reach the wreck. The wreck is a 40ft schooner facing north. Mostly intact with some of the deck collapsed. (Bring a spike to dig into the mud upon ascent)
