.....just head east on the 401. About 3 hrs +/- from ptbo. Great diving. Rothsay is just west of Prescott on Hwy #2 (?) Shore dive with a line out to the wreck, Prescott has it's own scuba park. This is just off the parking lot in Prescott. There is also the Conestoga west of Prescott in Cardinal.

Worth the drive for the day.

There are more shore dives west of prescott, some of them are more intermediate/advanced, but never the less they are excellent. I am just discovering ivy lea, went there today for the 1st time, some really nice walls/sandbar/current action, and rockport is known for it's wall but keep an eye on your depth. At both these locations the visibility is excellent at least 50 feet.
there isn't much else to shoredive that is worth the drive down, unless you like shallow wrecks.

I had heard the park wasn't allowing divers in unless they rented a site first (no day passes) due to some fools who ruined it for us.

Did you have any problems entering the park or hear about this?

They allow divers after labour day.
