SCUBA Diving Top 100

[pir8]

I would love to dive the Great Lakes, but need to get the wife in a drysuit first. I have dove many wrecks off the NC coast (without the need for a drysuit). So I may be biased also.
I think the best wreck diving is where the boat I am riding on stops.

I would have to agree with this type of thinking. Just like my favorite dive spot is always the next place I'm going.

If I didn't have a deal where I got this magazine almost free, I wouldn't subscribe to it.

They are completely biased towards their advertisers both in dive locations and gear reviews.

They also do the same stuff on what their articles they seem to run "over and over" about island destinations. (Cozumel, Grand cayman, Bahamas, Bonaire, etc). Of course as soon as they do a big write up story on these destinations, there are tons of ad's for dive op's in these destinations all around the article. hmmmm....

You don't need a drysuit to dive the St. Lawrence seaway. The water temps range from about 55F in late May to 70-75F in the fall. The Brockville, Rockport area is the best place to dive the St. Lawrence from. Alexander Bay, NY. on the U.S. side.

First time I dove there I figured Canada, water must be colder so I brought my dry suit. Sweated my butt off. Next time dove my 7/5 and was very comfortable. Of course time of year would make a difference.

Mike...It's nice to see NC in these top categories, but having said that...I couldn't agree with you more...You nailed it right on the head...

Thanks I will keep that in mind. We dont have temps that high here off the coast of Virginia. We also see our warmest temps in the late fall. I think 71% was the highest I saw this year & that was in October.
My LDS kept talking about a trip to the Seaway, he is from upstate NY, & said they usually try to hit it every other year so maybe next year. I cant remember the name of the group he dove with, just that they dove off houseboats.

Water's not that bad in July/August with many wrecks in lake Ontario at 60 F@ 90'. If thats too cold just go a bit east to the St.Lawrence and dive wrecks swith no thermocline. Water temps were reaching 76F in August.

Edit: I really should read all the other posts.

Funny thing about the Great Lakes: I've been in Lake Superior in sept. and had 68 degrees @ 110 ft with NO thermocline, but I've been in Lake Huron in july and had 55 degrees @ 75 ft and 1 thermocline,

No mistake. The Great Lakes do have the best wreck diving. Fully intact wrecks that still look almost as good as the day they went down. In some cases over 150 years ago!

I have to agree, do some reaserch and the pictures will blow your mind :14: :14:
Some are still perfectly intact
