Brockville Adventure Center (ABUCS)

The St. Lawrence River, has been a main shipping route for centuries, where many of vessels met their fate. From wooden schooners with cargo’s of grain or coal, to the warships of the early 1800’s and modern day freighters, today we are fortunate see them lying along the river bottom, waiting to be explored. Diving in Brockville is considered warm(er) diving for its geographical location. Warm surface water from Lake Ontario flows and mingles around the many islands causing the water temperature to “equal out” through all depths! Brockville is known for its lack of thermocline, warm summer waters and good visibility, making the diving experience that much more enjoyable. Late Summer Diving can bring water temperatures to 75+ degrees, and divers enjoy the St. Lawrence in full 5 mil suits. Both drysuit and wetsuit diving can be experienced in Brockville depending on the time of year. Early spring and late fall dives are mostly enjoyed in a drysuit, but can be done in full 7 mm wet suits with both hoods and gloves.  Those that get cold easy may want to consider a 7 mil suit, with a hood and gloves.  Due to the presence of Zebra mussels in the St. Lawrence river, gloves are recommended when diving, and it’s always a great idea to bring along your dive light!
