New England Rocks - Alaska

Diving the Sligo in the Ontario Great Lakes is a proper cold-water wreck experience. This schooner lies broken, with timbers spread across the silty bottom, creating a habitat for the local freshwater residents. We’ve seen hefty Lake Sturgeon patrolling the gloom around the main hull, and the occasional flash of a Golden Shiner darting between broken ribs. It’s a dive that rewards slow exploration, peering into the shadows where Common Carp or even a lurking American Eel might be tucked away. If you appreciate the history of these inland seas and don’t mind the chill, the Sligo offers a quiet, reflective dive.
