Lock 21 is an exciting and unique dive where you get to go back in time and dive a 19th century submerged Victorian canal lock on the St. Lawrence River. This dive can have strong currents and is best done by experienced divers.

Multiple entry points. There is a wall drop-off where you can enter, but the site can also be accessed from an easy gradual shore entry point (near the wreck of Wee Hawk). This is a shallow drift dive that can end up at the Conestoga Wreck.

The Wee Hawk wreck is very deceiving and should be viewed from the exterior; it is located in very shallow and calm water. Penetration should not be attempted without proper training.

This site was set up by the City of Prescott. It has easy access and a nice set up for divers. The area is shallow with calm water. Bottom composition is silt.

Two sturgeons point north at 35 feet out, a tribute to a species that was once plentiful in the river.
