The crystal clear water provides breathtaking access to the natural beauty just feet beneath the surface. The water clarity provides excellent underwater visibility. Horizontal visibility of 50-70 feet at 100-foot depths is not unusual. The River is the resting place of hundreds of shipwrecks, some dating back to the late 1700’s.
The strong current found in some areas of the St Lawrence River creates excellent drift conditions for those who seek artifacts. There is no thermo cline in this area, allowing for very comfortable diving temperatures from May through October. Both novice and expert divers will find a piece of paradise in Clayton.
Prefer to stay a little closer to the surface? Snorkeling is popular, due to the River’s amazing water clarity.
