Dive Sites Eastern Lake Erie

[Mthelming]

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of some good dive sites for wrecks in the Eastern part of Lake Erie (Buffalo). It would help if they are 60' deep or less. Thanks!

Great charter operation. Their website contains an excellent list of the wrecks they dive.

Also check out http://www.eriewrecks.com/ for a couple of excellent books on Lake Erie wrecks.

Good wrecks in 60' or less??

In Lake Erie, the deeper you go, the better shape the wrecks are in. The shallower wrecks are pretty beat up.

Osprey Charters is the best for Lake Erie diving!!

Also, you can check the dive calendar on Discover Diving's Website They often have charters to some of the shallower wrecks. You might even see me on the boat!!

Thanks, I might look into a charter this summer. Although we do have a large boat..big old Hatteras..so we were looking for something we could go to ourselves.

Sometimes there are moorings on some of the shallow wrecks. usually not.

It seems like most times when I DM on trips to the Tonawanda, I have to solo to go find it before the other divers jump in!!

The Erie Wrecks books contain gps coordinates to most of the wrecks listed. http://www.eriewrecks.com/

The Benson is near Port Colburn, Canada. It is usually moored. It's a nice little wreck in about 75' (I know, this is deeper than you were asking about). It is very silty, so it may not be a good dive for some (depending on their kicking style)
