You are really gonna have to be a little more explicit.

WTH are you talking about?

 

[Tom R]

Is this the same one near Rockport? They found last year or the one they claimed they found near Mallorytown.

The only supposed barge I know of from last year in the St. Lawrence was the one they are calling the "mason" and it is located just off of Mc Nair Island on the south side of the channel about 1/2 mile east of the "Gaskin" and about 1/8 of a mile southwest of the "Muskie". This one is a wood barge, not props here.

Not a bad dive, not a lot to see but it is something different if you are wrecked out.

Wrecked out, You haven't dove Kingston in a while if your wrecked out. May even go find something new this afternoon.

Tom - Kingston Scuba Tourism have you on the payroll?

I have dove kingston many times, not my favourite dive due to the thermoclines, nice dives, but come on your new wrecks are not for the average diver?

Not everyone wants to be GUE or DIR, body bag packing divers as shown in the video.

We got the point about a year ago. You like Kingston and think it is better than Brockville, Picton, Port Dover, Muskoka, etc...

Most perfer Brockville with no thermoclines - new wrecks would be nice and I am sure there are some still to be found if we could get someone with a sidecan down there. Too much history and wierd shoals to not have more...

Just a word; relax - we know Kingston is there....

Kingston operators have located/relocated at least 10 new wrecks in the last year alone, no-one is diving on them, but us . There is at least 4 new wrecks in the Brockville area, A barge near the gaskin, a barge near the Bridge, a schooner near the Keystorm and apparently an unidentified aircraft also near the bridge. Some people are diving these wrecks, but no charters to them? Whats with that?

Picton has opened up several new wrecks in the last year or two also. Which can be accessed from Kingston BTW, and with any luck they will also open up 2 new ones soon. The Northwest ( the bow end of the Northwind's sister ship) and a schooner in 160ft of water. Port Dover is also excellent and they have opened up at least 7 new wrecks in the last 2 years also. Muskoka has even opened up a new wreck this year in Lake Simcoe.

Show some of the Brockville stuff for all us to enjoy. This is why most of us come here to do learn about diving.

And we don't want everyone either, there is a standard and sounds like you didn't achieve it.
But don't worry a little hard work some dedication and a change of attitude you may make the cut.
