I've never heard of any in or around Collingwood. Most of the shore in that area is shallow for a long way out from the beach. That's what makes the Wasaga Beach are so popular with swimmers.
There is a sopt by Cedar Point, near where the ferry to Christian Island docks, that some shops use for checkout dives. Heard it's on the reserve and $5 to park.

I would like to resurrect this old thread since I'm spending my winter months in Collingwood for skiing but would consider staying into spring and summer if there are any viable scuba diving around here. Does not need to be deep as long as it's diveable and not too murky all the time.

There's one public access road to shore a bit west of my location where I'm staying in Collingwood along highway 26. I might to a quick investigation dive there in the spring to see if anything is there within a short distance from shore. Some say much of the shoreline around town is quite shallow at only about ten feet but we'll see I guess.

Do NOT dive on seemingly random buoys in deeper water if you manage to get out on a boat. They most likely mark fishing nets and you won't see them until you are in them.

The Mary Ward is accessible from shore at Northwinds Beach in Craiglieth.

How far would the surface or below surface swim be to the wreck?

I'm going to try diving the Collingwood harbour as well as off St Vincent Park near Meaford. Even if it's shallow, if the water is relatively clear (at least more clear than Humber Bay and Welland in the summer), then at least they are quick dives to do.
