Conestoga Wreck

★★★★☆ (798)

The largely still intact Conestoga is a 252-ft wreck in Cardinal, Ontario and is an excellent dive for all level, and exceptional night dive site. Easy shore entry leads you to a 25 m-line to the wreck. It is a shallow dive (28 ft approx.) and drift-friendly. Great site to practice a camera.

The Conestoga is a vibrant artificial reef where all river fish gather and one of the best sites to see the rare St. Lawrence salamander (mudpuppy). Night brings different marine life.
