The Thousand Islands region, straddling the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA, offers some of the most unique and thrilling freshwater diving experiences in North America. Known for its stunning natural beauty and historical significance, this area is a haven for both recreational divers and history buffs alike.

This region is home to the mighty St. Lawrence River, where divers can explore a fascinating underwater world filled with historic shipwrecks, thriving freshwater ecosystems, and dramatic underwater cliffs. The cold water of the St. Lawrence preserves many shipwrecks, making it a popular spot for wreck diving enthusiasts.
The best time to dive the Thousand Islands is from late spring to early fall. Water temperatures vary, with the summer months being the most comfortable. However, the colder-water dives offer better visibility, especially for wreck exploration.
