The closest are ones like the Wexford, dived from Port Franks or Grand Bend. It has irregular charters.
Then there's the Tiller, off St. Catherines. Toronto has the Sligo.
But you might really want to go to Tobermory. It's a 3 hour drive, but Diver's Den has many dive boats going out to some awesome old wooden shipwrecks. The pinnacle dives in Toby are the Forest City (40 to 150 ft) and the Arabia (90ft). Also good are the Niagara (80ft,) an intentionally sunken ship. There's even a good one, the Alice G, at the "tugs" shore diving site. There are others at the tugs too, but they're quite broken up.
Farther afield are wrecks in Brockville. Contact Abucs Scuba for charter. It's river diving so there's current, but it's manageable.
For non-wreck dives there are popular quarries with sunk things and some without. Cedar Hill, near Wiarton is popular too.

This isn't for diving, but for testing out a sub-sea laser scanner. I'd arrange a special charter for this (fishing charter or something).
Agreed on Toby. The Arabia was 106ft to the bottom when I dived her in 2019.
OP
Also anything at 60 to 70 meters would also be ideal, as that's the deepest wreck we plan on scanning in the Aegean.
I've got a few dives on her, but I'd love to see a scan of the Arabia....

Call Kelly at divers den in tobermory. There are wrecks that are 10ft deep and ones in your depth range. They have many boats and the day charter coat will be reasonable. You may be able to scan many wrecks in one day depending on the time you need to scan.
Interesting! Which frequency does the laser use?
