Are you looking for more than just a swim?  Give Brighton a try for your scuba diving adventure since it has a unique island character and 800 km of spectacular coastline for diving.

It is home to the shipwrecked, 80 ft. long, HMS Speedy which was a 1798 battle schooner with four-pound guns.

In Port Hope, the P.B. Locke is finding her place on the charts of Great Lakes shipwrecks.  The ship is found two nautical miles offshore of the Cameco refinery stack and divers from near and far are coming to visit.
