I did my first Brockville dive last night. Wow, I can't believe I didn't head out there sooner. The only downside of the whole trip was the traffic on the way up 
Anyone going to brockville from Ottawa, give yourself plenty of time, the 401 is down to one lane just before the Brockville exit, and the exit itself was closed last night for re-paving. Anyway, as I was saying, what an awesome dive location. Airmeiser, Artw, JimC, his wife and I all went on the little diver charter. We left port a little after six and made our way out to the Lilly Parsons (sic?). The water was 70+ and the vis somewhere between 75 and 100ft. Anyway we started out exploring the Lilly, spent maybe 5-10 min there and then proceeded with the drift portion of the dive. Unbelievable!!! At 80ft we just coasted along in a 2-3 knot current along the wall and managed to get in a good 25 minute drift (not including the time spent at the Lilly). All-in-all a wonderfully lazy dive. After our safty stop we popped up and the boat came along an picked us up. This was just an incredable experience for me and I can't wait to go back. To all the divers involved, great job! Art and his friend were great divers to buddy with, and Airmieser is always a great buddy (we've done many dives together).
On a side note, for anyone interested, Artw and I will be doing lock21 over in Morrisburg tonight, all are welcome
