A scuba diver hovers during a safety stop beneath the waters of the St. Lawrence River. This essential pause helps the diver adjust to the changing pressure before ascending, minimizing the risk of decompression sickness.

This isn’t enticing me to dive in the St. Lawrence 😊 Maggie

I’m with you, but I had to at least try. I definitely prefer warm and clear water.

It isn’t all glamour, eh. 🙏💕

Seems a bit too murky and cold for my liking!

Yeah, it was like a night dive at the bottom. LOL!

There has to be old wooden ship wrecks from the early 1900s going back. A relative was actively sailing vessels from Canada to New York during that time period. I know there is quite the current.

Yes, there are several old shipwrecks that remain structurally intact. The waterway reaches significant depths in some areas, offering plenty of opportunities for technical diving. However, I’m only certified for recreational diving. The current can be strong throughout the waterway at all levels.

I would think it would be quite dangerous. Stay safe!

Thanks! I try to stay within recreational guidelines.

It’s risky under water. 🥺
-
Strong current, large commercial shipping traffic, and recreational boats, I would agree it can be risky. But if you dive your plan, you can minimize some risks.

MER swimming and diving world have natural big fish schools. Waterway traffic is amusing. No NAUI No PADI, No buddy breath, No Bends. I do have qualms about the Great Barrier Reef, the Arctic and the Antarctic.
