William Young
Why dive here
William Young lies in a species-rich stretch of Great Lakes, with 30+ marine species recorded in the area.
The William Young wreck in the Great Lakes lies in shallow, often cold water, making it a good spot for newer drysuit divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. Visibility can swing quite a bit, but on a good day, you'll get a clear view of the hull structure and scattered debris. It's an interesting historical dive without the challenges of deeper or current-swept sites, a decent option if you're in the area.
