Jenny Lynn
Why dive here
Jenny Lynn lies in a species-rich stretch of Manitoba & Prairie Lakes, with 30+ marine species recorded in the area.
The Jenny Lynn isn't your typical wreck dive, and that's precisely why we love it. At a mere 1.3 meters deep, this isn't about pushing limits or long bottom times; it's about a unique encounter with history, perfectly preserved by the cold, fresh water of Lake Winnipeg. We’d describe it as an open-air museum, a skeletal remains of a fishing tug that met its end over a century ago. You’ll spend your time here exploring the ribs and frame, feeling the smooth, cold wood that still holds its shape against the gentle lapping of the water. Sunlight filters through the shallow surface, illuminating the structure in a way you rarely see on deeper wrecks. Our favourite part? How the light plays on the wooden hull, making the old timbers almost glow. It’s a photographer's dream for natural light shots, particularly in the late morning. This site is ideal for those who appreciate the quiet contemplation of a historical site and a different kind of dive challenge. It’s also a perfect spot for refining your buoyancy skills without the pressure of depth.
