Diving the St. Lawrence tips

[jsado]

This summer I plan on doing some diving in the St. Lawrence river around Alexandria Bay. I've done plenty of snorkeling around there, but I've never had the opportunity to dive there. I'm a beginner at scuba and was wondering if anybody had any tips for diving around there. I know there are bad currents around that area. I've seen whirlpools! I was just wondering if anybody had any experiences, especially any experiences with some of the many, many wrecks in the area.
