In October I'd estimate the St Lawrence will be mid to high 50's and by the end of the month in the high 40's. This will also be surface temps in Kingston. Deeper down the water will be in the 40's which it is year round in the lake.

Diving on many sites from Cornwall to Kingston should not be an issue in October but the wrecks directly exposed to the main part of lake Ontario will as usual be weather dependent.

Air temps in October have highs of 5-15 degrees C.

Visibility will however begin to improve and it's the time of year I like for diving many of the wrecks in the river.
