The Niagara River is a great site for drift diving, with many entry points, including one that allows you to view a beautiful sunken barge. Good visibility is weather dependent and the dives are confirmed a few days prior to the weekend based on the recent winds.  There is an abundance of large fish, including muskie, bass, pickerel, carp, sturgeon and  sheepshead. A 5 mm wet suit is generally enough thermal protection as the Niagara River is relatively warm, 21C or 70F. Wearing  gloves  is recommended  as there are  plenty of zebra mussels, which could cut your hands. Don’t forget to bring extra weights just in case.  Depths vary from 20 -60 feet. A dive flag and a dive light (for experienced divers considering a night dive) are required. We plan to do two dives on Saturday and possibly a night dive. Sunday will also be comprised of two dives.  This is an extremely fun weekend for all levels of divers and is a must do for all SUCI  members.
