Join us  September 17-20th 2026 for an unforgettable freshwater adventure in the St. Lawrence River, one of North America’s most unique and historic dive destinations.

The St. Lawrence offers clear water, gentle current drift dives, and an incredible collection of well-preserved shipwrecks ranging from 19th-century wooden schooners to modern steel vessels. Many wrecks sit upright and intact, making them perfect for exploration, photography, and buoyancy practice, all with excellent visibility for freshwater diving.

September is an ideal time to dive the river. Water temperatures are comfortable in wetsuits, boat traffic is lighter, and visibility is often at its best. We’ll base ourselves in the Thousand Islands region, diving with experienced local operators who know these sites inside and out.

This trip is a great fit for certified divers who enjoy wreck diving, relaxed drift profiles, and a bit of history beneath the surface.  After diving we’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the charm of the river towns topside after a day on the water. For the diehards who can’t get enough diving, shore dives are also plentiful.

Because of the depth of many of the wrecks, participants are required to have a deep specialty certification or proof of 5+ dives deeper than 60 feet.

About the Diving

In the St Lawrence River, you’ll find some of the Northeast’s finest freshwater diving. For over three centuries Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Niagara and St. Lawrence Rivers have been major shipping thoroughfares, resulting in the St. Lawrence being the final resting place of many wrecks. These freshwater sites can offer a range of large fish life, such as sturgeon and the majestic paddlefish. With comfortable temperatures of 60-7oF and average visibility of 30-80ft, you can remain in your comfort zone while enjoying the sunken history of the ships that lost their way among these islands.

 

Blue Foot Diving offers diving charters from its two boats based in Alexandria Bay in the heart of the beautiful Thousand Islands. Blue Foot 1 is a 32-foot Parker with a 9 foot 6 inch beam which can comfortably accommodate 6 divers. Blue Foot 2 is a 27-foot Olympia and has a 4 diver capacity. All wrecks are within a 30-minute boat ride with the famous wreck of the 640ft Roy A. Jodrey less than 5 minutes from the dock.

Otter Creek Inn is a relaxed, diver-friendly waterfront inn that makes a perfect home base for our St. Lawrence River adventure. Just steps from the water in Alexandria Bay, it offers comfortable, smoke-free rooms with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, sound-insulated walls, and daily housekeeping, so you can unwind easily after a day of diving. Rooms include conveniences like refrigerators and hair dryers. The property also features free self-parking, a garden terrace and picnic area, a microwaver in the lobby for shared use, boat pick up at their dock, and barbecue grills for evening gatherings. You can enjoy scenic outdoor seating by the creek and take advantage of local activities including fishing, canoeing, and nearby swimming. Its prime location puts restaurants, shops, and riverfront views within easy walking distance, giving you both comfort and convenience on the trip
